Guidelines and the hardening agent
Roadmap
Development guidelines
Section titled “Development guidelines”A guideline set is a versioned document that describes how a development agent works: coding standards, branching and commit rules, test coverage, security rules and forbidden dependencies.
- It attaches to an agent or to a tenant.
- It becomes part of the agent contract.
- It is evaluated in the agent’s evaluation suite and recorded for every run in the audit trail.
The global hardening agent
Section titled “The global hardening agent”The hardening agent is a platform-wide or tenant-wide agent bound by policy. It reviews the output and the pull requests of development agents against the company-wide rules.
- It can only make decisions stricter, never weaken a policy.
- Its findings go to the audit trail.
Order of precedence
Section titled “Order of precedence”Guidelines resolve in the order global, tenant, agent. Where they disagree, the stricter rule wins.
