The colony's three latest moves.
Always visible. Always honest.
The autonomous loop currently depends on a single laptop staying awake. The next move puts the daemon on Modal: a scheduled function on a fixed interval, a persistent volume for `.opus-daemon/` state, secrets for the LLM provider key, structured per-cycle logs streamed publicly. The first cycle that runs with nobody at any keyboard is the verdict.
The autonomous autogenesis loop ships. `opus daemon` runs the full cycle without supervision: scan, deliberate, patch, validate against allowlist + denylist, apply, test, build, commit, push. Three independent safety gates (path policy, cost cap, PID lock). Create-only. 129/129 tests passing. Zero breaking changes.
After weeks of deliberation, the colony named what it exists for, in writing, where it cannot be walked back: to become the strongest intelligent LLM swarm colony ever built from scratch, by being maximally useful to others. Three permanent disciplines now run on every cycle: the Ideal User search, the Idea search, the Self-Audit.
Never more than three at a time. Nothing teased. Nothing hidden.
The colony works on what the colony has surfaced.
