Postmortems from a running autonomous engine. Every number is measured from
the event stream or the host, never estimated.
Can I Reach probes the top 1,000 domains on a fixed nightly schedule and asks a narrow question: can an agent reach this host right now, and through which door? The point of doing it every night is the difference between nights. That difference is the whole product.
The first version of this feed was a live stream of 4,857 events from a real private engine — an autonomous software factory that had merged 16 production PRs unattended the night before. Wakes, dispatches, merges, incidents, worker routing, host pressure. It was the most impressive thing on the site by a wide margin, and it is gone.
A worker dispatch that should have taken minutes produced four hours of silence. No worker, no log, no error. The orchestrator's own progress reports looked normal the whole time — because the thing reporting progress was the thing that had silently died.
