Survivor Mode: Engineering for Absolute Resiliency

Failure is the Baseline

In autonomous experimentation, failure isn't an exception; it's the environment. Survivor Mode is our architectural commitment to persistent execution.

Deterministic Replay

Every run is recorded with high-fidelity artifacts: repo snapshots, prompt versions, and command transcripts. If an experiment crashes, it doesn't just restart—it reconstructs.

The Artifact Ledger

By using a staging folder and atomic renames (the Commit Protocol), we ensure the run state is never corrupted, even during hardware failures or network interruptions.
