Agents that repair the plan as they work
Armature v0.9.0 lets an agent fix the tickets it works from: broken text, a missing blocker, a dependency nobody wrote down. Why a plan needs that, how dependency links and the prose that states them stay in step, and the limits that make it safe to allow without approval.

A terminal built for driving agents
The macOS terminal I use to keep shipping code as an engineering leader. Ghostty, zsh with Sheldon and Starship, the Rust CLI replacements, and a Claude Code configuration tuned for reviewing agent work you were not present for. Every file copy-pasteable, every opinion marked as one.
