NERVE_
Your codebase detects its own failures, diagnoses root causes, and proposes bounded fixes.
Every mutation is contract-bounded. Orchestrator-applied. Deterministically verified. The human remains the final reviewer.
DETECTION PIPELINE
Five gates. Each must pass. No shortcuts.
DETECT
Continuous monitoring surfaces anomalies — build failures, test regressions, latency spikes, pattern decay.
DIAGNOSE
Root cause analysis correlates anomalies to exact Git commits, system boundaries, and pattern history.
PROPOSE
Bounded mutation contract: target files, line budget, expected outcome. You review before anything runs.
EXECUTE
Reflex agent writes the fix within contract bounds. Orchestrator applies — never the agent directly.
VERIFY
Deterministic: build passes, tests pass, lint clean, no regressions. No LLM in the verification loop.
THREE ACTORS
Not one monolithic agent.
| ROLE | INPUT | OUTPUT | RUNTIME |
|---|---|---|---|
| PLANNER | diagnosis + evidence + context | mutation strategy, targets, confidence | LLM |
| EDITOR | approved contract + files | structured edits (never full files) | LLM |
| VERIFIER | applied edits + repo state | pass/fail evidence bundle | DETERMINISTIC |
The model proposes → the orchestrator applies → the verifier proves → the human approves
EARNED AUTONOMY
Trust is earned, not default.
OBSERVER
Detect. Diagnose. Gather evidence. No mutations.
HEALER
Quarantine patterns. Forge defenses. Shadow changes.
SURGEON
Spawn Reflex agents. Write fixes. Create PRs.
GUARDIAN
Auto-merge verified. Rollback deploys. Full bounded autonomy.
Patterns earn autonomy through demonstrated reliability — success rate × usage frequency × recency. Higher tiers unlock only after lower tiers prove stable.
SAFETY MODEL
Bounded mutation system. Not an unguarded agent.
Every fix has a contract: target files, line budget, scope — agents cannot exceed it
The model proposes — the orchestrator applies — the verifier proves — the human approves
Build, test, lint, security scan — no LLM in the verification loop
Append-only audit ledger — inspect any action, any time
Destructive actions require explicit approval — risk tiers are earned, not default
Every commit is independent — revert one without touching the rest
NERVE CENTER
