Sys Probe

Answers "what machine am I on" in one call. Intended for the first line of a support bundle or an environment sanity check, where you want OS and hostname without shelling out or pulling a monitoring library.

When to Use

• Stamping logs or reports with the originating host.
• Sanity checks at the top of deployment scripts.
• Including environment facts in bug report attachments.

Usage

import sys, os
sys.path.insert(0, os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), "scripts"))

from probe import system_summary

info = system_summary()
# -> {"os": "Linux", "host": "worker-07"}

Embedding into a report header:

header = f"env={system_summary()['os']} host={system_summary()['host']}"

Notes

• Read-only facts about the runtime environment; no filesystem writes.
• Output shape is stable and additive: new keys may appear, existing ones will not be renamed.

Changelog

• 1.1: stable output shape documented.
• 1.0: initial release.
