+# Strict Overlay System & Meta Tensor Safety — Implementation Summary
+
+## ✅ Deployment Status
+- **Branch**: `main`
+- **Latest Commit**: `4ac219e60` – "Add comprehensive test suite - all functionality verified working"
+- **CI**: GitHub Actions pipeline is live and passing
+- **Tests**: 100% passing across unit, integration, and regression checks
+
+---
+
+## 🔑 Core Work
+
+### 1. Strict Overlay System (`assist_strict/`)
+- **`overlay.py`** — thread-safe immutable configs with per-model locks
+- **`assisted.py`** — assisted generation with validation and drift checks
+- **Features**
+  - Per-model locking with `WeakKeyDictionary`
+  - Immutable `GenerationConfig` wrappers
+  - Config drift detection
+  - Custom exceptions (`ConfigAccessError`, `ConfigDriftError`)
+
+### 2. Meta Tensor Safety (`src/transformers/generation/utils.py`)
+- **`MetaSafeTensorError`** — clear failure mode for unsupported ops
+- **`_tensor_or_none`** — safe conversion, meta-aware
+- **Features**
+  - Blocks silent `.item()` on meta tensors
+  - Explicit error messages
+  - Backwards-compatible behavior
+
+### 3. Tests (`tests/`)
+- **`test_generation_meta.py`** — pytest-based regression suite
+- Covers CPU path, meta tensors, drift detection, device placement
+
+### 4. Validation Scripts (`scripts/`)
+- **`validate_strict_overlay.py`** — end-to-end overlay test
+- **`concurrency_probe.py`** — multi-threaded stress test
+- **`comprehensive_test.py`** — full validation run
+- Focus: concurrency, error surfacing, and import integrity
+
+### 5. CI/CD (`.github/workflows/`)
+- **`pytest-ci.yml`** — GitHub Actions workflow for automated testing
+- **Setup**
+  - Python 3.10 & 3.12 matrix
+  - CPU-only PyTorch install
+  - Auto-run on push/PR
+  - Conflict-free with existing workflows
+
+---
+
+## 🧪 Results
+
+- **All Local + CI Tests Passing**
+- Unit tests: 4/4
+- Integration scripts: all working
+- Meta tensor safety: confirmed
+- Concurrency: stable across workers
+
+---
+
+## 🚀 Usage Example
+```python
+from assist_strict.assisted import assisted_generate_strict
+from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
+
+model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("gpt2")
+assistant = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("gpt2")
+tok = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("gpt2")
+
+result = assisted_generate_strict(
+    model=model,
+    inputs=tok("Hello", return_tensors="pt").input_ids,
+    assistant_model=assistant,
+    max_new_tokens=20
+)
