Repo Settings — read-only AI system summary and the danger zone
For: all
Tier: free+
Time: ~4 min
Why you'd do this
Every compliance-affecting field is managed in one place — the Profiling Wizard — and Settings is a read-only summary of its answers plus the danger zone. One surface for the answers avoids the "two surfaces, two answers, which one wins?" confusion.
Before you start
- OWNER role on the repo for the wizard re-run and danger-zone actions; members see the same summary read-only
- Awareness that unlinking is reversible but DELETE is permanent — scan history, evidence, and attestations all gone
Step 1
From the repo overview, click the Settings tab. The page has two main sections: the AI System Profile summary at the top, and the Danger Zone at the bottom (owner only). Between them: a collapsed Change history showing every wizard answer change with timestamp + user email.
What you'll see: Repo settings page. The AI System Profile section is grouped into six sub-sections — Identity / Risk / Role identity / AI system properties / Scope carve-outs / Deployer-obligation exclusions — and there's a "Run Wizard →" button at the top-right of the section header.
Step 2
Every row is read-only. The summary groups the answers under six headings (the wizard itself asks them in 7 sections):
- Identity — AI system name, the roles you stated (e.g. "Provider, Deployer")
- Risk — the concluded result + Art. 5 practices + Annex I legislation + Annex III areas + Art. 6(3) derogation
- Role identity — for each of the six EU AI Act roles, whether you legally fall in that role + whether the AI you handle in that role is high-risk
- AI system properties — Annex I §A safety component, training data, synthetic content, GPAI, GPAI systemic risk
- Scope carve-outs — Art. 3(1) AI-system definition, territorial scope, military/defence, research-only, open-source
- Deployer-obligation exclusions — personal non-professional activity (Art. 2(10)): it removes the obligations of deployers only, not the system from the Regulation
To change anything, click Run Wizard → at the top-right of the section. You will be taken to the wizard with every question pre-filled with the current values. Change what you need, click Finish, and the read-only summary updates immediately.
Step 3
A collapsed <details> below the summary lists every wizard answer change: timestamp, user email, field, old value, new value. Open it when you need to explain to a colleague (or auditor) why a finding is now NA when it used to be flagged. The list is append-only; entries are never edited or deleted.
Step 4
Owner-only. Three actions:
Unlink repo — removes the repo from the dashboard but preserves all data. Re-attaching later (ask your AI to set up ComplianceLint for this project again) restores the same project_id + scan history. Use this when a downgrade lock-state forces you to drop one repo to keep others active.
Transfer ownership (planned, not yet shipped) — will let an owner pass primary ownership to another invited user.
Delete repo PERMANENTLY — wipes scans, evidence, attestations, audit trail. Two-confirmation modal asks you to type the repo name. Cannot be undone. Use only when the project is genuinely dead AND you've exported the Compliance All-in-One Pack for record-keeping.
What can go wrong
- I want to override the risk classification, but I don't see a dropdown anywhere — The risk class is not picked. The Profiling Wizard concludes it from your answers (Art. 5 practices, Annex I legislation, Annex III use cases, Art. 6(3) conditions, Art. 50 functions). Click Run Wizard, change the answer that is wrong and Finish; the Settings summary then shows the new result.
- The Settings page shows a value I never set — Two common causes: (1) the value is the wizard's default for that question and you skipped past it, or (2) the value was inferred from a related answer (e.g. Risk shows "High-risk" because you selected an Annex III use case). Open Run Wizard to see exactly which question controls the value; the wizard step header cites the relevant Article.
- Member sees Settings but the Run Wizard button isn't visible — Expected. Non-owner members can read the summary but cannot edit it. Ask the OWNER to run the wizard, or have them promote you to OWNER (multiple owners are allowed).
- I clicked Unlink by accident — how do I get the repo back? — Ask your AI to set up ComplianceLint again in the same project directory (it invokes
cl_connect). ComplianceLint matches byproject_id(preserved in.compliancelintrcif you didn't delete it; otherwise the dashboard shows orphaned-repo recovery flow). All scan history, evidence, and attestations re-appear automatically.
