  Galatea Bio ships one first-party client library: the Octopod wrapper and CLI, published as source
  on its own GitHub organization under MIT. It is NOT available on PyPI - the docs and README say
  "pip install octopod", but pypi.org/project/octopod is an unrelated multi-task classification
  library published by ShopRunner. Registry checks below record that collision honestly rather than
  crediting Galatea Bio with a published package it does not own.

  provides:
  - octopod_wrapper (Python client for the Octopod API)
  - octopod_cli / "octo" console script
  covers:
  - file upload via API and SFTP
  - file deletion, search and sample-alias update
  - organization info and available models
  - order submission, cancellation and tag updates
  - tag create/search/edit
  - result and PDF report download
  note: >-
    version reads 0.0.1 from setup.py; the repository publishes no git tags and no GitHub releases,
    so there is no dated release artifact to read. published is null because nothing was ever
    published to a package registry - this is an honest gap, not an unchecked field. The most recent
    commit to the default branch is 2025-07-30, roughly thirteen months before this probe.

    The PyPI project named "octopod" is not Galatea Bio's. Following the documented
    "pip install octopod" instruction installs an unrelated ShopRunner machine-learning library, not
    the Octopod API client. This is a real, reproducible defect in the provider's own install
    instructions and is worth reporting back to them.

  note: >-
    Python is the only language Galatea Bio ships a client for. The docs give raw curl and Python
    requests examples for every endpoint, so callers in other languages work against the REST
    surface directly.
dependencies:
  runtime:
  - requests==2.32.3
  - paramiko==3.5.1
  note: Pinned exactly in requirements.txt; paramiko backs the SFTP upload path.
