claude -p) against 30 known ways of stopping silently, each answered exposed, guarded or undecidable with its evidence. - Orbi (GitHub, open source, AGPL-3.0) - Self-hostable agent that works from GitHub Issues: code changes, deployment and debugging tasks are run from a labeled Issue, with commands and output kept in the Issue; code changes go through tests, a separate AI review and a CI gate before merge.
