The Log

Working notes from building and running AI agents on real repositories.

Every claim here carries a receipt: a commit, a pull request, or a measurement you can re-run.

  1. A ship date with nothing behind it is your own CI

    The last note here was 21 August 2026. Since then a method grew rules an agent can skip, and a calendar date with no source. The check below fails that date. Later the same day that branch became main.

  2. Your GitHub clone count is mostly your own CI
