AINARRES: the auditor's second sense — watching health and spend

The project's auditor used to judge one thing — did a delivery meet its brief. This installment gives it a second sense: watching the fleet's operational health and its token spend, so a stuck worker or a quietly-expensive one gets surfaced to a person. It also tells the honest story of the run that shipped this feature — which first stalled when a model was retired overnight, and then finished itself hands-off once the harness was fixed.

OpenTerminalUI — A Terminal That Argues With You

The last releases made the data honest and the portfolio private. v1.2 turns the local model on the most dangerous voice in investing — your own conviction — with an "interrogate this" card that pressure-tests the bull case, and yours, grounded in your own notes.

OpenTerminalUI — The Wiring Audit, or 33 Bugs That Were Really Five

A pile of "broken" features in the forked terminal turned out to share a handful of root causes — the frontend calling API paths the backend never served. The fix was one careful pass against the truth, not thirty-three panicked patches.

OpenTerminalUI — A Terminal That Runs on Any Brain

The AI features in OpenTerminalUI don't care which model you run. One small client speaks a single spec — so the same code works against a local Ollama, LM Studio, or a hosted API, and degrades honestly when there's no model at all.

AINARRES: a wider swarm, and the worker that spun

An interlude after the governance season. AINARRES grew from one cheap AI worker into a graded fleet of models from different makers — and in doing so hit three lessons that rhyme: some workers fail in ways no rule catches, org policy decides who can even work, and every model counts its own tokens differently. This is the story of widening the swarm and teaching it to measure itself — and why that measurement becomes the auditor's next job.

AINARRES and the auditor: did we build the right thing?

The seventh and final installment of AINARRES' governance season. The substrate can now withdraw a capability from a family that proves bad at its job — automatically, temporarily, reversibly. But some failures no rule can catch, and some decisions shouldn't be automated at all. This is the story of the line the project deliberately drew: the auditor, the human boundary, and why the machine building its own conscience left one loop for a person.

OpenTerminalUI — Retiring the Portfolio That Was Secretly Shared

The last installment showed the "legacy" portfolio was a single table shared by every user. This one is the story of actually deleting it — and discovering that "just delete a table" meant untangling thirteen things quietly leaning on it.

AINARRES trips: the day the swarm wiped its own board

The sixth installment of AINARRES: the first fully hands-off run of the governance season ended with the swarm wiping its own board mid-run. An honest post-mortem of a three-part cascade — why nothing that mattered was lost, and how a self-inflicted failure became the clearest argument yet for the human boundary the project is building next.

OpenTerminalUI — Making the Portfolio Real (Without Lying About It)

The v1.1 release turned a demo portfolio into a real one — cash you can't fake, realized profit that stopped overstating itself, and a "legacy" portfolio that turned out to be secretly shared between users.
