Governed coding runtime

Local-first agent runtime

Run coding agents with explicit policy, hash-chained evidence, and transaction-bound rollback — while authority stays on your machine.

  • Policy before effect
  • Hash-chained audit
  • Identity-bound rollback

Transaction review

Review every agent change at transaction depth

Move from patch to file to numbered hunk without losing attribution, verification, or the rollback identity.

  1. 01Bounded rendering, complete transaction
  2. 02Patch and file identity survive refresh
  3. 03Rollback confirmation cannot retarget
  4. 04ASCII, no-color, and narrow terminals stay usable
