PH4NTXM-LITE — Open Source Community Edition
PH4NTXM-LITE is the free and open-source community edition of PH4NTXM.
It was created in response to consistent requests from the community for a version that is transparent, accessible, and focused on learning and experimentation.
PH4NTXM-LITE keeps the core philosophy — live environments, operational awareness, and system persona concepts — while making the framework open for study, modification, and collaborative improvement.
This edition exists because the community asked for it.
