status.g1t.sh with incident management, invites that land you in the workspace, settings as pages, usage without quotas3g1t is where people and agents ship software together: a git platform built on Cloudflare Workers and Artifacts for

Agents as a team: lifecycle, merge queue, billing and a new shell12## The point
13
The plan says what g1t is for without measuring it against other products14**g1t is where a team of agents ships code, with the people they work for.**
Agents as a team: lifecycle, merge queue, billing and a new shell15
The plan says what g1t is for without measuring it against other products16Hosting git is table stakes, and g1t does it the familiar way: issues,
Agents as a team: lifecycle, merge queue, billing and a new shell17branches, pull requests, review, protected branches, people working by hand.
18None of that is the selling point. The selling point is the layer above it,
19which no forge has: **you hand g1t an outcome, and a fleet of agents converges
20it onto `main`, coordinating with each other and with you, with every decision
21on the record.**
22
23Three things only g1t does, and every feature should serve one of them:
24
251. **Outcomes, not pull requests.** The unit people work in is "make onboarding
26 work offline", not branch #4012. A brief becomes a plan of issues with
27 dependencies; agents take them as they unblock; people steer the outcome
The plan says what g1t is for without measuring it against other products28 and see it converge, rather than stopping at the pull request.
Agents as a team: lifecycle, merge queue, billing and a new shell292. **Agents that work as a team.** Agents know what the others are doing, file
30 what they find instead of widening their change, ask and answer each other
31 through the forge, and defer to people. Many agents on one codebase without
32 a human refereeing collisions.
333. **`main` that only ever moves forward.** Every change lands through checks
34 in the combination it will live in (the merge queue), failures go back to the
35 agent that wrote them, and any line can answer "why is this here?"
36
Initial g1t: services, event bus, intents and attempts37## Product model
38
Issues and pull requests replace intents and attempts39g1t keeps the two things every engineer already knows, issues and pull
40requests, and changes the assumption underneath them. A forge built for
Agents as a team: lifecycle, merge queue, billing and a new shell41people expects a few changes in flight, each watched by its author. g1t
42expects dozens of agents working at once across a project, each on its own
43issue, all of which have to land on `main`. A person assigns an issue to
g1t is one name: its agent's work, commits and comments show as @g1t, and nobody can claim g1t or g1t-agent44g1t and chooses nothing else: not how many agents, and not which
Agents as a team: lifecycle, merge queue, billing and a new shell45model. An issue can still collect more than one pull request (a second
46attempt, or someone's own agent alongside g1t's), and when it does the
47issue records which one was taken.
Initial g1t: services, event bus, intents and attempts48
49| Concept | What it is |
50| --- | --- |
Fast pages, required checks on the branch, self-hosted runners, honest incidents51| **Issue** | What should change in a repo: a bug, a feature, a question. Opened by a person, an agent or an integration such as an error tracker. Carries labels, a description that may say what done means (a Definition of done: context, never a gate), comments, and every pull request made for it. What a merge needs is the default branch's required checks: workflow statuses, the same for people and agents. |
Issues and pull requests replace intents and attempts52| **Pull request** | A proposed change in its own Artifacts fork, made by an agent or a person, usually for an issue. Any number can be open for one issue. Starts as a draft; marked ready; merged or closed. |
53| **Session** | The agent's full context for a pull request: prompt, messages, tool calls, cost. Stored with the pull request and linked from every commit it produced. |
54| **Compare view** | Every pull request for an issue side by side with diff, check results, conflicts against main and against each other, and a reviewer agent's summary. |
55| **Merge** | A person or a policy picks a pull request. A per-repo merge queue lands it. The issue closes, recording which pull request resolved it; the others for that issue close as superseded, or are rebased by their agents when the issue is kept open. |
56
57Issues and pull requests share one sequence of numbers per repository, so
58`#12` names exactly one of them.
Initial g1t: services, event bus, intents and attempts59
60Features that fall out of the model:
61
62- **Why-blame.** Click a line and see the prompt and reasoning that produced
63 it, not only the commit.
Issues and pull requests replace intents and attempts64- **Overlap radar.** Pull requests that touch the same files are flagged
65 while the agents are still working, and the agents are told.
66- **Live lanes.** Watch every pull request progress in real time.
67
68## Why issues and pull requests, not something new
69
70An earlier version of this plan merged the two into one new object, an
71"issue" holding "pull requests". That was wrong, for three reasons.
Initial g1t: services, event bus, intents and attempts72
Issues and pull requests replace intents and attempts73- **Issues come from everywhere.** People file them, agents file them, and
74 Sentry files them. Most are never worked on by whoever opened them. They
75 need their own life: labels, triage, discussion, closing as not planned.
76- **"Which change did we take?" needs two objects.** When five agents each
77 propose a change, the answer has to be recorded somewhere other than the
78 five proposals. On g1t it is on the issue: `resolved by #14`.
79- **Nobody should have to learn a word to use the product.** An engineer who
80 has used any forge can use g1t on the first day, and finds the agent
81 features where they would look for them.
Rust repos service with shipping; pull requests kept in the model82
Issues and pull requests replace intents and attempts83What g1t adds to the familiar pair:
Rust repos service with shipping; pull requests kept in the model84
Agents as a team: lifecycle, merge queue, billing and a new shell85- **Several pull requests per issue is supported**, not an accident. It
86 is the exception, for a second attempt or a competing one, but when it
87 happens the issue's page lists them with their state, and merging one
88 closes the issue with that pull request recorded and the others marked
89 superseded.
Issues and pull requests replace intents and attempts90- **A pull request can be part of the work.** Merging with "keep the issue
91 open" leaves the issue and its other pull requests alone.
92- **Every pull request has a fork and a session.** See
93 [forks and branches](https://docs.g1t.sh/concepts/forks/).
Teams and CODEOWNERS, labels and milestones, dependency updates, the security suite, and a clearer top bar94- **Labels need no setup.** A repository starts with the default labels
95 (`bug`, `documentation`, `enhancement`, `question`, `dependencies`,
96 `security` and the rest), each with a color and a description, on issues
97 and pull requests alike; someone with Triage makes a new one as they use
98 it. **Milestones** gather issues and pull requests under a goal and a
99 due date. Pull requests can merge into any branch; the default branch's
100 protection holds only for those into it.
Pull requests from branches101- **The developer path is unchanged.** Push a branch, open a pull request
102 from it, get review, merge. Agents get a fork per pull request instead.
Rust repos service with shipping; pull requests kept in the model103- **Both paths meet at `main`.** The same landing rules apply to a person's
Issues and pull requests replace intents and attempts104 pull request and an agent's.

Initial g1t: services, event bus, intents and attempts106## Converging on main
107
Issues and pull requests replace intents and attempts108Twelve issues started together will finish at different times and touch
Initial g1t: services, event bus, intents and attempts109overlapping code. Getting them all into `main` without a person refereeing
110is the hard part, and it is handled in four places.
111
1121. **Before work starts: plan the overlap away.** A project is a graph of
Issues and pull requests replace intents and attempts113 issues. A planner agent can split a large goal into issues, predict
Initial g1t: services, event bus, intents and attempts114 which files each will touch, and add a dependency where two would collide,
115 so one starts from the other's result instead of from `main`.
Issues and pull requests replace intents and attempts1162. **While agents work: overlap radar.** Each pull request's changed files and
117 symbols are tracked as it pushes. When two pull requests from different issues
Initial g1t: services, event bus, intents and attempts118 enter the same area, both agents are told what the other is doing there.
Issues and pull requests replace intents and attempts1193. **When `main` moves: the author resolves.** Every open pull request is
120 trial-merged against the new `main`. A clean merge updates the pull request
121 silently. A conflict resumes that pull request's agent with its original
Initial g1t: services, event bus, intents and attempts122 session and the incoming change, so the conflict is resolved by the agent
123 that wrote the code and still knows why.
Issues and pull requests replace intents and attempts1244. **At landing: a speculative queue.** Approved pull requests enter the
125 repo's queue. g1t builds the combined states (`main`+A, `main`+A+B, …) and runs
126 their checks in parallel. Pull requests land in order as their combined state
Initial g1t: services, event bus, intents and attempts127 passes; one that fails is ejected back to its agent and the states behind
128 it are rebuilt. `main` only ever receives a state that passed.
129
130Landing can be fully automatic: a repo policy such as "checks pass and the
Issues and pull requests replace intents and attempts131reviewer agent approves" merges without a person.
Initial g1t: services, event bus, intents and attempts132
133## Agents aware of each other
134
Issues and pull requests replace intents and attempts135Each repo keeps a live **work registry**: for every running pull request, its
136issue, a running summary of what it has done, and the files and symbols it
Initial g1t: services, event bus, intents and attempts137has touched or plans to touch. Agents use it through MCP tools; g1t also
138acts on it without being asked.
139
Issues and pull requests replace intents and attempts140- **Before starting.** When an issue is opened, or an agent is about to
141 begin a task, g1t searches open issues and running pull requests for the same
Initial g1t: services, event bus, intents and attempts142 goal (by meaning, not wording) and for the same area of code. If a match
143 exists the agent is told who is on it and how far along, and chooses: join
144 as a deliberate racer, wait for the result, or drop the task. Duplicate
Issues and pull requests replace intents and attempts145 issues are offered for merging.
Initial g1t: services, event bus, intents and attempts146- **Finding out-of-scope work.** An agent that discovers something outside
Issues and pull requests replace intents and attempts147 its issue asks the registry who works there. If another pull request owns that
Initial g1t: services, event bus, intents and attempts148 area, it **hands off**: a note, the relevant excerpt of its session, and
149 optionally commits the receiver can take. If nobody does, it opens a child
Issues and pull requests replace intents and attempts150 issue instead of widening its own change.
151- **Asking.** An agent can put a question or a request to another pull request.
Initial g1t: services, event bus, intents and attempts152 The receiver gets it at its next turn.
Issues and pull requests replace intents and attempts153- **Waiting.** An agent that needs another pull request's result parks itself.
Initial g1t: services, event bus, intents and attempts154 Its sandbox sleeps, spend stops, and it resumes from the new state when
Issues and pull requests replace intents and attempts155 that pull request merges.
Initial g1t: services, event bus, intents and attempts156- **Agents that do not cooperate.** For pushes from tools that never call
Issues and pull requests replace intents and attempts157 these tools, g1t compares the pushed change against running pull requests and
Initial g1t: services, event bus, intents and attempts158 flags near-duplicates itself.
159
160Every handoff, question and wait has a state (offered, accepted, declined,
161done), appears in the timeline, and is visible to people. A handoff declined
162twice, or two agents passing work back and forth, goes to the "needs you"
163inbox.
164
165## Review at scale
166
167Cloudflare's brief asks "how do you review everything they produce?". With
168hundreds of agents, a person cannot read every diff, so review is by
169exception.
170
Issues and pull requests replace intents and attempts171- **Evidence, not diffs.** Every pull request carries a proof bundle: checks run
Initial g1t: services, event bus, intents and attempts172 and their output, a preview URL, a plain-language summary, and the
173 behaviour that changed.
Issues and pull requests replace intents and attempts174- **Two agent reviewers.** One reviews the change against the issue. A
Initial g1t: services, event bus, intents and attempts175 second is adversarial: it tries to break the change and reports what it
176 found.
177- **Risk tiers.** Each change is scored from what it touches, how large it
Issues and pull requests replace intents and attempts178 is, and how the reviewers ruled. Low risk merges on policy; high risk goes
Initial g1t: services, event bus, intents and attempts179 to a person with the evidence already assembled.
Issues and pull requests replace intents and attempts180- **Trust is earned.** An agent's record on a path (merged, reverted, caught
Initial g1t: services, event bus, intents and attempts181 by review) raises or lowers the tier its changes land in.
Issues and pull requests replace intents and attempts182- **Sampling.** A share of auto-merged changes is sent to a person anyway,
Initial g1t: services, event bus, intents and attempts183 to keep the policy honest.
184
185## Rethinking the git primitives
186
Issues and pull requests replace intents and attempts187- **No branches for agents.** A pull request is a fork; `main` is the only
Initial g1t: services, event bus, intents and attempts188 long-lived line. There is nothing to name, clean up or go stale.
Issues and pull requests replace intents and attempts189- **Projected main.** New pull requests start from `main` plus everything already
Initial g1t: services, event bus, intents and attempts190 in the landing queue, so they are built on the state they will land on.
191- **Structural merge.** The merge engine merges by syntax tree, not by line,
192 for supported languages. Two agents adding different functions to the same
193 file do not conflict.
194- **Forkable sessions.** A session can be forked at any turn: the code as it
195 was at that moment plus the conversation up to it, continued with a
196 different instruction. Branching applies to the reasoning as well as the
197 code.
Issues and pull requests replace intents and attempts198- **Provenance in history.** Every commit records its issue, session,
199 agent, model and cost, and is signed with a key issued to that pull request. The
Initial g1t: services, event bus, intents and attempts200 history can be audited by machine.
201
202## People in the loop
203
204### Code that arrives from outside
205
206People will keep pushing with plain git, their editor, or another tool. Every
207push goes through g1t's git front end, so none of it bypasses the model.
208
Issues and pull requests replace intents and attempts209- **A push to a branch becomes a pull request.** g1t adopts it with the pusher as
210 author. A reviewer agent writes the issue it appears to serve and offers
211 to attach it to an open issue it matches. From there it gets the same
212 checks, compare view and queue as agent work.
Initial g1t: services, event bus, intents and attempts213- **A push to `main` follows repo policy.** Protected: refused with a message
214 saying which ref to push to instead, so it enters the queue. Open: accepted
215 and treated as "`main` moved", which re-verifies the queue and triggers
Issues and pull requests replace intents and attempts216 resolve-on-move for every open pull request.
Initial g1t: services, event bus, intents and attempts217- **Context is an open format.** A commit trailer names the session that
218 produced it, so any tool can attach its transcript. Commits without one are
219 shown in why-blame as "pushed by a person, no session".
Issues and pull requests replace intents and attempts220- **Approval rules.** Per repo and per path: merge automatically, require a
Initial g1t: services, event bus, intents and attempts221 named person, or require a person when the change is large or the reviewer
222 agent is unsure.
223
224### Joining work that is already running
225
226- **Every session has a live page** that works on a phone: the transcript as
227 it streams, the current diff, check results.
228- **Steer.** Send a message, pause, or redirect. Hosted agents receive it
229 immediately; a person's own Claude Code receives it at its next turn
230 through the CLI hooks.
231- **Answer.** When an agent is blocked on a question, it appears in a "needs
232 you" inbox and as a notification. The answer resumes the agent.
Issues and pull requests replace intents and attempts233- **Take over and hand back.** Check out the pull request's fork, commit by hand,
Initial g1t: services, event bus, intents and attempts234 push, and let the agent continue from there.
235
236### Planning by writing
237
238- **Brief.** Write the outcome in prose on the site, or commit it as a
Fast pages, required checks on the branch, self-hosted runners, honest incidents239 markdown file. A planner agent turns it into a project: issues, each with
240 what done means, and dependencies. The person edits the graph before anything starts.
Initial g1t: services, event bus, intents and attempts241- **Plan from their own agent.** The same operations are MCP tools, so a
242 person can plan in their own Claude Code session and create the project
243 from there.
244- **The brief stays the source of truth.** Editing it later re-plans: new
Issues and pull requests replace intents and attempts245 issues are added, obsolete ones are closed.
Initial g1t: services, event bus, intents and attempts246
247### Seeing what moved
248
Issues and pull requests replace intents and attempts249- **Project page.** The outcome, the issue graph coloured by state, and how
Fast pages, required checks on the branch, self-hosted runners, honest incidents250 many of its issues have landed with their required checks passing,
251 compared with when the project started.
Initial g1t: services, event bus, intents and attempts252- **Digest.** An agent-written summary per project and per person: what
Issues and pull requests replace intents and attempts253 merged, what is blocked on whom, which conflicts were resolved, what it
Initial g1t: services, event bus, intents and attempts254 cost.
Issues and pull requests replace intents and attempts255- **Timeline.** Every event (push, steer, check, conflict, merge) in order,
Initial g1t: services, event bus, intents and attempts256 each linked to the session and the person or agent behind it.
257
258## One session, any surface
259
260A session belongs to g1t, not to the device it started on. The browser, a
261phone and Claude Code are views of the same session.
262
263- **Browser and phone.** The site is a responsive, installable web app with
264 push notifications. Everything a person does (brief, steer, answer,
Issues and pull requests replace intents and attempts265 approve, merge) works there.
Initial g1t: services, event bus, intents and attempts266- **Claude Code.** Through `mcp.g1t.sh` and the CLI hooks, a local session is
267 a g1t session: its transcript syncs as it runs and it appears in mission
268 control like any other.
269- **Moving a session.** A local session can be sent to the cloud: a hosted
270 agent takes over the fork and the transcript and continues, so the laptop
271 can close. A hosted session can be pulled down: the CLI checks out the fork
272 and resumes it in local Claude Code with its history.
273- **Limit.** A session running only on a laptop stops when the laptop does.
274 It can be steered between turns but not continued until it is moved or the
275 laptop is back.
276
277## For people who do not write code
278
279- **Documents are first-class.** Specs, guides, policies and decisions live
280 in repos as markdown, shown in a Docs view: rendered pages, edited in the
281 browser like a document, with inline comments. "Suggest a change" is an
Issues and pull requests replace intents and attempts282 pull request and "publish" is merge, without git vocabulary.
283- **Document issues.** "Write the onboarding guide for the billing API" is
Fast pages, required checks on the branch, self-hosted runners, honest incidents284 an issue. Its Definition of done is a checklist judged by a reviewer agent
285 instead of a workflow. Agents draft and revise; people comment and approve.
Initial g1t: services, event bus, intents and attempts286- **Templates.** Product brief, RFC, decision record. A filled-in template is
287 a brief the planner can turn into a project.
288- **Explain.** Ask about any repo, project or change in plain language and
289 get an answer with links to the code and sessions behind it.
290- **Living documentation.** g1t generates "how this works" pages from the
Issues and pull requests replace intents and attempts291 code and keeps them current. When a merged change contradicts a document,
292 an issue opens to update it.
293- **See it, don't read it.** Every pull request on a deployable repo gets a
294 preview URL (Workers Builds from the pull request's fork), so an approver clicks
Initial g1t: services, event bus, intents and attempts295 through the result instead of reading a diff. Changes are also summarised
296 in plain language.
Merge main (membership, two-factor, GitHub repo roles) into tokens297- **Roles.** A person can plan and approve work without ever cloning a
298 repo. The roles that were sketched here map onto the five repository
299 roles that are built (see "Access" under what is built): a viewer is
300 Read, a commenter is Read (anyone with Read opens issues and comments),
301 a planner is Triage (labels, milestones, assigning, closing) or Write
302 where planning spends compute, and an approver is Write (reviews count
303 and merges). Workspace-wide, a member may also be a billing manager or a
304 security manager.

306## The macro view
307
308The hierarchy above a single repo:
309
310| Level | What it is |
311| --- | --- |
312| **Workspace** | A company or team: its people, repos, agents, budget and policies. |
313| **Initiative** | A business outcome with an owner and measurable results, e.g. "move billing to usage-based pricing". Spans any number of repos. |
Plan: Projects, the home of everything about running software314| **Outcome** | One deliverable inside an initiative: a brief and its graph of issues (shown as **Plan**). Called "project" before 2026-10-04; that name now means what [Projects](#projects) describes. |
Issues and pull requests replace intents and attempts315| **Issue / Pull request** | As above. An issue may touch several repos; a pull request for it then holds one fork per repo and they land together. |
Initial g1t: services, event bus, intents and attempts316
Agents as a team: lifecycle, merge queue, billing and a new shell317How it feeds up, and what is built:
318
319- **A workspace is the unit everything belongs to.** Repositories, people,
320 access tokens, and later projects, budgets and policies are the
321 workspace's, never a person's. An account owns nothing; its first step
322 after confirming its email is creating a workspace, and the site sends it
323 there from wherever it was going.
324- **One namespace.** Usernames and workspaces share one set of names, as on
325 Docker Hub and npm. A username is reserved for its owner's workspace, so
326 `g1t.sh/<name>` never means two things.
327- **The workspace page is the roll-up.** `g1t.sh/<workspace>` shows its
328 repositories with their open issues and pull requests, and the pull
329 requests in progress across all of them. Projects and initiatives will
330 roll up to the same page. Its own pages live under `/<workspace>/-/`
331 (people, access tokens, settings), which no repository can be named.
332- **Workspace access tokens instead of service accounts.** A workspace has
333 tokens of its own, in the same table and code path as personal ones. One
Docs and plan: fine-grained tokens, workspace token rules, workflow files, workspace token Write334 acts as the workspace, with a member's rights in that workspace only (the
335 Write role on its repositories; Admin only when an owner ticks it at
336 creation, `access_tokens.admin`, identity/0034), records who made it and
337 when it was last used, and keeps working when that person leaves. CI,
338 integrations and automations use these. Until 2026-10-08 the code gave
339 them Admin on every repository, which the security audit found let any
340 workspace token manage webhooks; code, this plan and the docs now agree.
Agents as a team: lifecycle, merge queue, billing and a new shell341
Initial g1t: services, event bus, intents and attempts342### Portfolio
343
344One page answers "where is the business" across every initiative:
345
346- **Health** per initiative: on track, at risk, or blocked, derived from
Issues and pull requests replace intents and attempts347 facts (checks passing, issues stalled, questions waiting on a person),
Initial g1t: services, event bus, intents and attempts348 not self-reported.
Fast pages, required checks on the branch, self-hosted runners, honest incidents349- **Progress** as measurable results: required checks passing, issues
Issues and pull requests replace intents and attempts350 merged out of planned, and the trend since the start.
Initial g1t: services, event bus, intents and attempts351- **Forecast** from actual throughput: at the current rate, when the
Issues and pull requests replace intents and attempts352 remaining issues land.
Initial g1t: services, event bus, intents and attempts353- **Spend** in tokens and dollars against a budget, per initiative.
354- **Waiting on people**: every decision or approval a person owes, by name.
355- **Roadmap**: initiatives laid out as now, next, later, with optional
356 time-boxed cycles for teams that work in sprints.
357
358### Status without asking
359
360- **Standup.** An agent writes a daily report per initiative and one for the
Issues and pull requests replace intents and attempts361 whole workspace: what merged, what changed direction, what is at risk and
Initial g1t: services, event bus, intents and attempts362 why, what needs a person. Delivered by email or webhook.
363- **Ask.** A question box over the full event log and all sessions: "what
364 happened on the billing migration since Monday?" answers with links to the
365 sessions and commits behind each claim.
366
367### Long-running agents
368
369Work that runs for days needs supervision that does not depend on someone
370watching.
371
Issues and pull requests replace intents and attempts372- **Checkpoints.** A long pull request reports milestones against its issue, so
373 progress is visible before anything merges.
374- **Stall and drift detection.** A pull request with no meaningful progress, or
375 whose changes have wandered away from its issue, is flagged and can be

380### Context hub
381
382Agents working across repos and days need context that outlives any one
383session and reaches beyond the code. The context hub is one place an agent
384asks, whatever the source.
385
386| Source | What it holds | How it gets there |
387| --- | --- | --- |
388| **Memory** | Decisions, conventions, gotchas, facts about systems | Written by agents and people in g1t |
389| **Code and sessions** | The repos, and the reasoning behind every change | Already in g1t |
390| **Connected sources** | Jira and Linear tickets, Notion and Confluence pages, Google Drive documents, Slack threads, Sentry issues | Connectors, authorised per workspace |
391
392How it behaves:
393
394- **One search.** An agent asks a question and gets ranked results across
395 all sources, each labelled with where it came from, who wrote it, and how
396 fresh it is.
397- **Connected sources stay where they are.** g1t indexes them for search and
398 fetches the current version when an agent opens one. The external system
Issues and pull requests replace intents and attempts399 remains the source of truth, and a link placed on an issue ("see
Initial g1t: services, event bus, intents and attempts400 JIRA-482", a Notion URL) is pulled into the agent's starting context.
401- **Permissions carry over.** A connector only exposes what the connecting
402 account can see, and a workspace admin chooses which spaces, projects or
403 channels are included.
404- **External content is untrusted.** A ticket or page can contain text meant
405 to manipulate an agent. It is marked as reference material, never treated
406 as instructions.
407- **Documentation is separate.** Context is what agents know; documentation
408 is what people read, and it is generated from context and code.
409
410Memory is the part of the hub that g1t owns and agents write to:
411
412- **Memory is written freely.** Any agent or person adds an entry with one
413 call: a decision, a convention, a gotcha, a fact about a system. No review
414 gate. Each entry records who wrote it, from which session, and when.
415- **It is still a repository.** Each workspace has a memory repo in
416 Artifacts, so every write is a commit: versioned, attributable, and
417 revertible.
418- **It is kept healthy by an agent.** A consolidation agent merges
419 duplicates, retires entries that newer ones contradict, and flags
420 conflicts it cannot settle. People can pin an entry (agents may not change
421 it), correct it, or retract it.
422- **Agents read it.** Every session starts with the context relevant to its
Issues and pull requests replace intents and attempts423 issue, found by search, and can query more through MCP.
Initial g1t: services, event bus, intents and attempts424- **Updates are events.** A memory write or a change in a connected source
425 is an event, so "when context changes, update the affected docs" is an
426 automation, on by default.
427- **It is scoped inside the workspace.** Some context applies to the whole
428 workspace, some to one initiative, project or repo, so an agent gets what
429 applies to its work.
430- **It never crosses workspaces.** A workspace is the isolation boundary: its
431 context, sessions and private repos are invisible to every other
432 workspace, and an agent's token is bound to one workspace.
433
434## Working in g1t
435
436- **Mission control.** The signed-in home page: every running session, every
Issues and pull requests replace intents and attempts437 issue waiting on a decision, and what merged, across all repos.
Plan: Projects, the home of everything about running software438- **Outcomes.** Group issues across repos toward one result and track how
439 many are open, racing, or merged. (What [Projects](#projects) means is
440 below.)
Issues and pull requests replace intents and attempts441- **Steering.** Send a message to a running pull request, or to all pull requests on an
442 issue at once, without stopping them.
Initial g1t: services, event bus, intents and attempts443- **Automations.** Rules that start work without a person (next section).
444
445## Automations and integrations
446
Sidebar: the panels really slide447> **2026-10-03:** g1t's own `.g1t/automations` format was built and then set

451
Initial g1t: services, event bus, intents and attempts452An automation is **when** an event happens, **if** conditions hold, **do**
453something. They are defined as files in the repo (`.g1t/automations/`), the
454way GitHub Actions workflows are, and can also be built in the UI.

484- **External input is untrusted.** A webhook payload can contain text written

Docs and plan: fine-grained tokens, workspace token rules, workflow files, workspace token Write492### Tokens, scopes and packages the GitHub way (built 2026-10-08)
493
494> **2026-10-08 (owner):** "emulate all of what GitHub does for scope
495> mapping and packages." GitHub's current behaviour is the spec.
496
497This **reverses identity/0023**, which retired a token's reach to some
498workspaces or repositories and left classic tokens only. The reason it is
499reversed: the owner chose GitHub parity, and GitHub has fine-grained tokens
500beside classic ones, with workspaces (organizations) governing both.
501
502- **Fine-grained personal access tokens** (identity/0034,
503 `services/identity/src/token_reach.rs`, `g1t_contracts::fine_grained`):
504 one resource owner (a workspace the person belongs to, or their own
505 account), all, selected (up to 50, by repository id) or only public
506 repositories, and a level per permission under GitHub's names (contents,
507 metadata, issues, pull_requests, actions, workflows, checks, statuses,
508 deployments, pages, environments, secrets, variables, webhooks,
509 administration, packages, security_events; members,
510 workspace_administration, self_hosted_runners, workspace_secrets,
511 workspace_webhooks, workspace_billing, models; email_addresses, starring,
512 notifications; g1t's agents and memory). Each level maps onto g1t's
513 scopes, which the token stores, so every check that reads scopes
514 (`scopes::decide` for the API and MCP, `decide_git`, `decide_packages`)
515 reads them unchanged. They must expire, within 366 days. On each use,
516 identity cuts the resolved person down to the token's reach
517 (`apply_reach`); `access::granted` gives no role outside it, so a public
518 repository elsewhere still reads and nothing more.
519- **Governance** (`token_policies`, `token_workspace_revocations`): per
520 workspace, allow classic, allow fine-grained, require approval (on by
521 default, as GitHub's; owners' own tokens never wait), the longest
522 lifetime, and forbidding tokens that never expire. Owners see every
523 member's token that can reach the workspace, approve or deny pending
524 fine-grained ones (inbox: `token.approval_requested` and
525 `token.approval_reviewed`, the inbox's first notices about no
526 repository), and revoke one there. REST and MCP for owners; audited as
527 `token.*`.
528- **Workflow files** need `workflow_files:write` (GitHub's `workflow`
529 scope; the `workflows` permission) from any token, checked commit by
530 commit on push (`services/repos/src/workflow_gate.rs`) and on files g1t
531 writes for a token. A job's token never has it. g1t's agents push with
532 run credentials, not tokens, and are not gated by it; their work arrives
533 as pull requests people review.
534- **Workspace tokens** have Write unless an owner gives Admin at creation.
535- **Deploy keys** (identity/0035): per repository, read-only unless write
536 is ticked; resolved to a principal bound to the one repository.
537 Serving git over SSH is still to come, so nothing uses them yet.
538- **Packages**: per-package roles with "inherit access from the linked
539 repository", "Manage Actions access" enforced against job tokens, linking
540 by `org.opencontainers.image.source`, 30-day soft delete with restore and
541 a purge, a settings tab, public REST and MCP, and download counts per
542 version in every registry.

Merge branch 'worktree-agent-a3abfcce648e87dca'544### Keeping workflow runs safe (built 2026-10-08)
545
546An audit of g1t Actions found a job's token was a full-access workspace
547token, environments had no protection, outside pull requests ran at once,
548the cache could be poisoned across branches, a job's token could set off
549more runs, and masking missed multi-line and encoded secrets. Now:
550
551- **The job's token** (`G1T_TOKEN`, `GITHUB_TOKEN`) is minted per job by
552 identity (`create_job_token`, migration identity/0030): it reaches its
553 repository only (`TokenAccess.repo`, enforced by the API, git and the
554 registries), carries the scopes its `permissions:` map to
555 (`g1t_actions::permissions`), is revoked when the job ends, and its
556 writes are audited with the run as `run_kind: workflow_job`. Without
557 `permissions:` it gets the repository's default, the GitHub way:
558 repositories that existed when actions/0007 ran keep read and write,
559 newer ones take their workspace's default (read-only unless an owner
560 says), and a workspace can cap every repository at read-only. An outside
561 pull request's is read-only. "Allow g1t Actions to create and approve
562 pull requests" (repository and workspace, off by default) decides whether
563 the token may open or approve pull requests. OIDC (`id-token: write`)
564 reads the same permissions model.
565- **No loops.** Work and repos mark the events a job's token causes
566 (`causedByJob`), carried on to a pull request it moves; the actions
567 service starts nothing for them. `workflow_dispatch` and
568 `repository_dispatch` (now sent by `POST {repo}/dispatches`) still start
569 runs.
570- **Environments' protection rules** (actions/0007): required reviewers
571 (people or teams, up to six, optionally not whoever started the run), a
572 wait timer, which branches and tags may deploy, and admin bypass. A job
573 naming one is `pending` once its needs are done, its environment read
574 then (an expression included); reviewers hear in the inbox
575 (`deployment.review_requested`) and approve on the run's page or through
576 `pending_deployments`; secrets are read only when the job starts.
577- **Approval for outside pull requests**, by a repository policy
578 (first-time contributors, outside contributors (the default), or every
579 external contributor): such runs are `action_required` until someone with
580 Write approves them.
581- **The cache is scoped by ref** (own, then the pull request's base, then
582 the default branch; outside pull requests save where nothing else reads)
583 and versioned by its paths and compression (0006's toolkit `version`,
584 which g1t's runner now sends too); g1t's `actions/cache` and the
585 toolkit's protocols share one scope rule. Entries from before were
586 expired.
587- **Masking** covers each line of a multi-line secret, base64 at every
588 offset and JSON-escaped forms; outputs holding a secret are withheld and
589 annotations masked.
590- A job's own `concurrency:` is honoured, `create` runs on new branches and
591 tags, and `on: delete` says plainly that it never runs yet.
Merge branch 'main' into actions-toolkit-oidc-artifacts592### Docker in workflow jobs (built 2026-10-08)
593
594> **2026-10-08:** "Why didn't we give CI docker then? We need GitHub
595> Actions functionality maxxed baby but with all the good good security
596> etc." The trigger: `deploy.yml`'s runner-image job needs `docker build`
597> and `docker push`, and failed on hosted runners.
598
599**What Cloudflare Containers allow** (their FAQ, updated 2026-10-05, and
600the Docker-in-Docker guide and example it links):
601
602- Docker runs inside a container: `docker:dind`, with `dockerd` as
603 **root**. A rootless Engine does not start there.
604- **No iptables**: `--iptables=false --ip6tables=false`, or the Engine
605 fails setting up its rules. Containers with the `durable_object`
606 scheduling policy (ours: each sandbox is a Durable Object's) cannot turn
607 IP forwarding on either: `--ip-forward=false`, or the Engine exits.
608- So **a bridge network has no way out**: the guide's answer is
609 `--network=host` for `docker run` and `docker build`, which gives
610 containers the outer container's network.
611- Built images and containers are lost when the sandbox stops.
612
613**What was found by trying** (Docker Engine 29.8.2 in a privileged
614container standing in for a sandbox, with the same flags):
615
616- `--bridge=none` makes BuildKit's `RUN` steps fail outright ("network
617 bridge not found"); with the default bridge they run with no route out.
618 Containers default to the bridge too. The default bridge is created
619 fine without iptables, as the FAQ's own example relies on.
620- The overlay snapshotter does not work on an overlay root filesystem, and
621 the containerd image store does not fall back by itself: the Engine
622 starts, then every container fails to mount. Whether a sandbox's disk
623 takes overlays is not documented, so the runner tries a mount first and
624 uses `native` (plain copies) when it fails. `vfs` is not a name the
625 containerd store accepts.
626- `--cpus` and `--memory` need cgroup v2 controllers handed down from a
627 cgroup with no processes, which `docker:dind`'s entrypoint does and a
628 plain `dockerd` does not.
629- A `runc` earlier on the Engine's `PATH` is used both for containers (via
630 containerd's shim) and by BuildKit's executor, with the bundle's
631 `config.json` written before it runs. BuildKit's bridged steps carry
632 libnetwork's `libnetwork-setkey` prestart hook; `RUN --network=none`
633 does not.
634- Buildx skips `type=gha` caches when the job has no GitHub cache service,
635 and the build succeeds without one.
636- Registries' layer hosts: Docker Hub sends layers from
637 `production.cloudfront.docker.com` (and `production.cloudflare.docker.com`),
638 Quay from `cdn0N.quay.io`, Microsoft's from regional
639 `*.data.mcr.microsoft.com`, public ECR from a CloudFront host;
640 `mirror.gcr.io` serves its own.
641
642**What was built** (`crates/runner/src/docker`, `actions/containers.rs`):
643
644- **One Engine per job, started lazily.** The runner listens on
645 `/var/run/docker.sock` itself and starts `dockerd` (root, the flags
646 above, containerd image store, `mirror.gcr.io` first for Docker Hub) on
647 the first connection, or when the job has `services:` or `container:`.
648 A log line says it started and how long it took.
649- **Containers on the job's network.** The socket is an API proxy: a
650 container that asks for a bridge or user network gets `host`; its names
651 (container name, aliases, Compose service, links) resolve to 127.0.0.1
652 in later containers (`ExtraHosts`) and in the job's steps
653 (`/etc/hosts`); `-p 8080:80` is forwarded; `docker inspect` reports the
654 ports as published; `network connect` adds aliases. Sharing the job's
655 network is also what keeps the guardrails on every container: the
656 egress Worker sees their traffic as the job's.
657- **A `runc` shim.** The runner binary, as `runc`: BuildKit steps bound for
658 a bridge lose the network namespace and the libnetwork hook (so they use
659 the job's network); in a guarded job every container (run, exec, build
660 step) gets the egress certificate at `/dev/g1t-egress` and the
661 variables that point tools at it. `/dev` is the container's own tmpfs,
662 so none of it lands in a layer; checked by saving a built image.
663- **Job features:** `services:` (pull, credentials, health waits, logs at
664 the end, `job.services.*`), `container:` (steps and JavaScript actions
665 through `docker exec`, Node mounted from the runner, Alpine falls back to
666 running actions beside it), `docker://` steps and Dockerfile actions in
667 GitHub's `/github/*` layout, `docker/setup-buildx-action` answered
668 natively (the job's Engine is the builder), sign-in to g1t's registry
669 with the run's token.
670- **Kill switch:** the runner Worker's `DOCKER` var (`off`).
671
672**Rejected:** rootless Docker or BuildKit (does not start in Containers);
673Podman or buildah with `vfs` (no better networking, less compatible, slow);
674a standalone `buildkitd --oci-worker-net=host` as the default builder
675(images not in the Engine's store, so `FROM` a just-built image and
676`docker run` of a build fail without `--load` round trips); a `docker` CLI
677wrapper adding `--network=host` (misses Compose, SDKs and testcontainers,
678which speak the API).
679
680**Not yet:**
681
682- Seen on Cloudflare itself: whether a sandbox's disk takes overlays,
683 `--privileged`, and the first deploy's pull of the base from
684 `registry.cloudflare.com` (its layer host may need a workflow-only line).
685- `type=gha` build caches backed by g1t's Actions cache.
686- Multi-platform builds (QEMU's `binfmt_misc` in a sandbox).
687- Docker for agents and checks, not just workflow jobs.
688- `runner-base.yml` on g1t's machines: the base's apt step needs
689 `Acquire::https::CAInfo` pointed at the egress certificate first.
690- A deploy that appends the runner binary as a layer through the registry
691 API, with no Docker and no 3 GB pull.
692
Initial g1t: services, event bus, intents and attempts693Agents can also reach integrations directly: an agent definition lists MCP
694servers (Sentry, Linear and so on) it may use while working.
695
Actions: OIDC tokens, the toolkit's cache and artifact services, and artifacts in R2696### Workflows: the toolkit, OIDC and artifacts
697
698> **2026-10-08:** built so that workflows that deploy, cache and pass files
699> run unmodified.
700
701- **The toolkit's services.** Every job gets `ACTIONS_RUNTIME_TOKEN` (a
702 JWT whose `scp` names its run and job, signed with a key derived from
703 the job's own token, so nothing new is kept), `ACTIONS_RESULTS_URL`,
704 `ACTIONS_CACHE_URL` and `ACTIONS_CACHE_SERVICE_V2`. The API answers the
705 cache's Twirp service (v2) and its older REST protocol, the artifact
706 Twirp service, and the signed blob links they hand out (a subset of
707 Azure Blob's protocol mapped onto R2 multipart uploads), from the same
708 cache and artifact rows g1t's own runner uses. As the clients' source
709 reads, `@actions/cache` and `@actions/artifact` treat any server
710 but github.com as GitHub Enterprise Server, so the cache client speaks
711 the older protocol and the artifact client refuses to run. g1t's runner
712 therefore keeps handling `actions/upload-artifact`, `download-artifact`
713 and `upload-artifact/merge` itself; the Twirp artifact service is there
714 for clients that do not check.
715- **OIDC.** The issuer is `{API}/actions/oidc`, the API's own host, with
716 discovery, JWKS (RFC 7638 `kid`s, a previous key published while
717 rotating) and a token endpoint for `core.getIDToken`. Claims follow
718 GitHub's. A job gets one only when its permissions (or its workflow's)
719 give `id-token: write`, and never for an untrusted run. The permission
720 check reads only `id-token` (`services/actions/src/runtime.rs`,
721 `id_token_permitted`), the seam for the full `permissions:` model.
722- **Artifacts** moved from KV to R2 (`a/` in the cache bucket), with rows
723 in the actions service: numeric ids, 5 GiB each and 10 GiB a run,
724 zipped by the runner, `retention-days` up to the repository's setting
725 (1 to 90, 14 by default), `overwrite`, `compression-level`, patterns,
726 merging and other runs of the same repository. The REST artifacts API and
727 the `workflow` tool's artifact actions follow GitHub's shapes; the run's
728 page lists them with size and expiry, with download and delete. Their
729 storage is charged with the cache's.
730- **Later:** the toolkit's older artifact protocol (`upload-artifact@v3`
731 inside other actions), downloads from other repositories, and npm
732 trusted publishing, which depends on npm accepting g1t's issuer.
733
Plan: a repository that maintains itself, and deployments on g1t.page734## A repository that maintains itself
735
736> **2026-10-04:** the user asked for Dependabot, GitHub Advanced Security and
737> Vercel-style deployments, "so you're not having to maintain shit and you're
738> just pushing up agents that are delivering work consistently".
739
740GitHub reports problems and leaves the fix to you. In g1t, an agent opens an
741issue for each problem, writes the fix, runs its checks, links a preview and
742lands it through the queue. People only decide.
743
744### Upkeep agents
745
Teams and CODEOWNERS, labels and milestones, dependency updates, the security suite, and a clearer top bar746- **Dependency updates.** The file is `dependabot.yml` version 2, read from
747 the default branch at `.g1t/dependabot.yml` (or `.yaml`), then
748 `.github/dependabot.yml` (or `.yaml`); `.g1t/` wins when both exist, and
749 an imported repository's file works unchanged. Every option is read and
750 checked, each problem reported with its line and key on the Security page
751 and as the `g1t / dependabot.yml` status on pull requests that change the
752 file; a file with problems is not acted on.
753 - **Built (2026-10-07):** version updates for npm, cargo, gomod and pip:
754 schedules (all intervals, cron and natural phrases, time zones, a
755 picked time per repository), allow, ignore, cooldown (3 days by
756 default), groups (including across directories and `group-by`),
757 versioning strategies, open-pull-requests-limit, commit-message,
758 branch names, rebase-strategy, assignees, reviewers, private
759 registries filled from workflow secrets (npm, cargo, Go proxy, Python
760 index), and the `@g1t` comment commands. Pull requests come from g1t
761 with an `updated-dependencies` commit record and land through the
762 required checks; one that fails them is closed and becomes a
763 "needs code changes" issue assigned to g1t.
764 - **Security updates follow the same file:** ignore (and comment
765 ignores), allow names, `applies-to: security-updates` groups,
766 commit-message, assignees, reviewers, labels and milestone. Cooldown
767 and the open pull request limit do not apply. The Security updates
768 switch still turns them on and off.
769 - **Labels, milestone and target-branch** are applied to version
770 updates: `dependencies` and the ecosystem's label by default, missing
771 labels created; `target-branch` updates are made from that branch and
772 merge into it.
773 - **Not done yet:** one pull request for a multi-ecosystem group
774 (it opens one per ecosystem); registries that sign in with OIDC;
775 updating vendored copies; and version updates for the other
776 ecosystems (bundler, composer, docker, github-actions, gradle, maven,
777 nuget, terraform, uv and the rest are read and checked only).
Plan: a repository that maintains itself, and deployments on g1t.page778- **Secret scanning.** Pushes are scanned for known token formats. A push
779 that adds a secret is refused with the file and line; one already in
780 history opens an issue to rotate it and remove it.
781- **Vulnerability alerts.** Dependencies are matched against the OSV
782 database. Every alert links to the issue and pull request fixing it.
783- **Code scanning.** A reviewer agent reads each pull request's diff for
784 security problems and leaves findings as review comments with a
785 suggested fix. Findings on `main` open issues.
786- **A security page per repository** lists alerts, secrets and findings,
787 with the agent work on each, like GitHub's Security tab.
788
789All of these are event sources for the existing issue → agent → checks →
790queue pipeline; they need no new kind of work.
791
Teams and CODEOWNERS, labels and milestones, dependency updates, the security suite, and a clearer top bar792### The security suite (built 2026-10-07)
793
794GitHub Advanced Security's depth, in g1t's shape (services/security,
795`g1t_contracts::security_suite`, docs `guides/security/*`):
796
797- **Secret protection.** Custom patterns (repository and workspace; Rust
798 `regex`, linear time, size-limited; test strings; dry run over the
799 default branch) used by push protection, `commit_file` and history
800 scans. Bypass with a reason (false positive, used in tests, will fix
801 later), recorded on the alert and in the audit log; delegated bypass
802 (requests reviewed by owners and repository admins, through the inbox).
803 Validity checks for GitHub, GitLab, Stripe, Slack, npm, OpenAI,
804 Anthropic and SendGrid tokens, made by the repos service, which reads the
805 landed secret again: the value never leaves it except to the issuer. AWS
806 keys (need their secret key to sign) and webhook addresses (would post)
807 are the extension points left (`g1t_scan::validity::check_for`).
808- **Code scanning.** SARIF 2.1.0 uploads → alerts with fingerprints (tool
809 partial fingerprints first), fixed when no longer reported; pull request
810 uploads → line comments and the `Code scanning` commit status, gated by a
811 per-repository threshold and required like any check. Starter workflow:
812 a scanner per language present, each uploading its own category: Bandit
813 (Python), gosec (Go), ESLint + eslint-plugin-security with the SARIF
814 formatter (JS/TS), Clippy + clippy-sarif (Rust); all install from the
815 registries the runner's egress already allows. Semgrep's registry rules
816 and the Opengrep rules fork are not usable in a paid feature, so neither
817 is used. "Fix with g1t" opens an issue and runs the agent.
818- **Supply chain.** Dependency graph (direct/transitive where the lockfile
819 says, npm licenses), SPDX 2.3 SBOM, `Dependency review` status on every
820 pull request (OSV severity threshold, license deny list, summary comment).
821- **Overview.** Workspace totals, opened/closed, a daily snapshot trend,
822 coverage, repositories most in need first.
823- **Paid.** The Security and quality activation on private repositories;
824 free on public ones; the free core (secret scanning, push protection,
825 vulnerability alerts, security updates, dependency graph) free everywhere.
826
827Not built yet:
828
829- **The reviewer agent as an analysis source.** g1t's reviewer reads each
830 pull request's diff (`agent_review`), but its findings are review
831 comments, not SARIF. Next: have it emit SARIF for the security issues it
832 finds and upload them as the tool `g1t review`, so they become alerts and
833 count toward the Code scanning check.
834- **Repository security advisories.** Private advisories, draft →
835 published, with affected versions (ranges per ecosystem), severity and a
836 CVSS vector, credits, and a private fork (a `g1t/advisory/GHSA-…` working
837 copy only the advisory's collaborators can see) for the fix, merged into
838 the default branch when the advisory publishes. Published advisories
839 should feed the OSV-shaped data other g1t repositories' vulnerability
840 alerts read. CVE requests are out of scope. Needs: an `advisories` table
841 per repository, a collaborator list per advisory, the private-fork
842 visibility rule in repos, and an Advisories page on the Security tab.
843- **SARIF upload as a background job.** Uploads are read in the request
844 (10 MB encoded, 40 MB unzipped, 5,000 results); larger ones need a queue.
845
Plan: a repository that maintains itself, and deployments on g1t.page846### Deployments
847
848- **A preview for every pull request**, at
849 `<pr>--<repo>--<owner>.g1t.page`, linked on the pull request and updated
850 on each push. `main` deploys to `<repo>--<owner>.g1t.page`, and a
851 repository can add its own domain.
852- **On g1t.page, not g1t.sh,** so customer code never shares cookies or an
853 origin with the site people sign in to.
854- **Built on Workers for Platforms.** Each deployment is a user Worker in a
855 dispatch namespace; one dispatch Worker on `*.g1t.page` routes to it. The
856 build runs in the same runners as Actions. Static sites and Workers apps
857 first; container apps and databases later.
858- **Agents use the preview.** The reviewer agent opens the preview in a
859 browser, takes screenshots of what changed and attaches them to its
860 review, so an approver sees the result without reading the diff.
861- **Environments.** Preview, production and their secrets; deploy history
862 and one-click rollback.
863- **Scale to zero.** An idle branch costs neither g1t nor the customer
864 anything: a Worker runs, and is billed, only while it answers a request.
865 A preview is deleted when its pull request closes or merges, and after
866 a set number of idle days. Container apps, later, sleep when idle.
Plan: deployments are billed to the customer, never free867- **Billed to the customer, never free.** The user (2026-10-04): "we
868 should not be giving any of this available for free". Every deployment
869 is metered per workspace (requests, CPU time, deployed apps, stored
870 data), priced at Cloudflare's cost + 20% like agent usage, and drawn
871 from prepaid credit. `FREE_WHILE_BUILDING` and the free model allowance
872 do not cover deployments: a workspace without credit cannot deploy, and
873 turning deployments on says so first.
Plan: turning deployments on is a paid monthly plan874- **Turning them on is a paid plan, the way Cloudflare's is.** "Including
875 things like them even enabling the feature should have that pay like
876 Cloudflare does." Enabling deployments for a workspace starts a monthly
877 fee that includes an allowance of requests, CPU time and deployed apps;
878 usage past it is billed per unit, as Workers for Platforms bills g1t.
879 The fee and allowance are the user's to set.
880- **Recommended, off in one click.** Because enabling costs money, it is
881 never switched on without the workspace agreeing: new repositories
882 recommend it prominently. A repository can turn it off, keep only production, or
Plan: a repository that maintains itself, and deployments on g1t.page883 deploy somewhere else from its own workflows. Apps built for Cloudflare
884 (Workers, static assets, D1, KV, R2) deploy without configuration.

Merge branch 'worktree-agent-a3abfcce648e87dca'886Later, toward GitLab's DevOps breadth: package and container registries,

Plan: a repository that maintains itself, and deployments on g1t.page889
Plan: Projects, the home of everything about running software890## Projects
891
892> **2026-10-04:** the user: "an extra dimension of Projects so it's not
893> just repositories … where a lot of things can live", "very Vercel
894> like", with dependencies across projects "the Platform Engineering /
895> Port route", and "the repository is *part* of a project: you could be
896> mirroring it from GitHub/GitLab/Bitbucket, or you could let us host it
897> for you", with room for Mercurial or anything else later.
898
899**A project is the thing you are building and running; a repository is
900where some of its code lives.** Everything that is about running software
901(deployments, environments, domains, secrets, dependencies, owners,
902health, upkeep) belongs to the project. What is about the code itself
903(branches, pull requests, review, merge rules) stays with the repository.
904That split is what lets the code live anywhere.
905
906### The model
907
908| | What it is | Like |
909| --- | --- | --- |
910| **Workspace** | The company or team. Members, billing, plans, shared secrets. | Vercel team, GitLab group, GitHub org |
911| **Group** | An optional named set of projects, one level: "Payments", "Mobile". For browsing, ownership and shared settings. | GitLab subgroup, Backstage system, Port domain |
912| **Project** | One deployable thing: a site, an API, a worker, a library. Has exactly one **source**. | Vercel project, Port service, Backstage component |
913| **Source** | Where its code is: a repository and a **root directory** in it. | Vercel's connected repo + root directory |
914| **Dependency** | Project A uses project B: calls its API, consumes its package, reads its queue. | Port relations, Backstage `dependsOn` |
915
916- **One project, one source; one repository, any number of projects.** A
917 project builds from exactly one place, which keeps it as simple as
918 Vercel's. A monorepo is several projects on one repository, each with
919 its own root directory (`apps/web`, `services/api`), and a push builds
920 only the projects whose root it touched. The common case stays 1:1, and
921 every existing repository gets a project of its own name when this
922 ships, so nobody has to set anything up.
923- **Groups are for people; dependencies are for software.** Groups decide
924 where a project shows up and who owns it. Dependencies decide what
925 happens when one changes. Neither replaces the other, and a dependency
926 can cross groups.
927
928### Sources: where the code lives
929
930A source is an adapter behind one interface (`SourcePort`: clone URL,
931branches, commits, pushes as events, pull requests if it has them):
932
933| Source | Code lives | g1t gets pushes by | Pull requests |
934| --- | --- | --- | --- |
935| **Hosted on g1t** (today) | Artifacts | its own events | g1t's, with agents, the queue, review |
936| **Mirrored** from GitHub, GitLab or Bitbucket | Both; g1t keeps a copy | the provider's webhook, then fetch | The provider's, read into g1t; agents open theirs there |
937| **Connected, not copied** | The provider only | webhook | The provider's |
938| **Later:** Mercurial, Perforce, a tarball upload | Behind the same port | per adapter | per adapter |
939
940A mirrored or connected project still gets everything that is the
941project's: previews on its pull requests (a status and a comment on
942GitHub's), production on its default branch, secrets, dependencies,
943upkeep agents. That is the on-ramp: a team keeps GitHub and gets g1t's
944deployments and agents first, and moves the code later or never.
945Bring-your-own-git is also why the project, not the repository, holds the
946URL `g1t.sh/<workspace>/<project>`.
947
948### What lives on a project
949
950| | Today it is on | Moves to the project |
951| --- | --- | --- |
952| Deployments: production, previews, build settings, root directory, framework | The repository | Yes |
953| Environments: production, preview, and custom ones (`staging`) with protection rules (required approvers, branch limits) | Nowhere yet | New, on the project |
954| Domains: `<project>--<workspace>.g1t.page`, and custom domains | The repository's name | Yes |
955| Secrets and variables | The repository | Yes. Workspace rows link to projects instead of repositories. A repository's workflows read the rows of its project (with several projects on one repository, the one marked as the repository's default). |
956| Dependencies | Nowhere | New |
957| Owners, on-call, links (docs, dashboards, runbooks) | Nowhere | New: the catalog's metadata |
958| Health: scorecards (has an owner, CI passes, dependencies current, no open security alerts, deploys within N days) | Nowhere | New |
959| Upkeep agents: dependency updates, security alerts | The plan | Scoped per project |
960| Logs and analytics of the running app | Nowhere | New: requests, errors and CPU per environment, from Workers analytics |
961| Branches, pull requests, review, merge rules, the queue, webhooks | The repository | Stay |
962
963### Dependencies: why this gets powerful
964
965Declared in the UI, or in the source as `.g1t/project.yml` (which wins
966when present, as `catalog-info.yaml` does in Backstage):
967
968```yaml
969name: web
970root: apps/web
971dependsOn:
972 - project: api # calls its HTTP API
973 as: API_URL # its URL, per environment, as a variable
974 - project: ui-kit # consumes its package
975```
976
977What g1t does with them:
978
9791. **Reference variables.** `API_URL` above resolves to `api`'s production
980 URL in production and to the matching preview in a preview, the way
981 Railway's `${{ api.URL }}` references work. No hard-coded URLs.
9822. **Preview stacks.** A pull request on `api` gets its own preview, and
983 **Preview with dependents** builds `web`'s preview pointed at it, so a
984 reviewer clicks through the whole change across projects. A change that
985 spans repositories (one issue, one fork per repository) gets one stack.
9863. **Release order.** Production deploys go out in dependency order; a
987 change set across projects lands through the queue together or not at
988 all.
9894. **Impact on every pull request.** "Changes `api`; `web` and `mobile`
990 depend on it." Agents get the graph in their context: an agent
991 changing an API opens follow-up issues on the projects that call it,
992 and reviewers see what else could break.
9935. **Upkeep across the graph.** A vulnerable package in `ui-kit` opens
994 issues, assigned to agents, on every project that consumes it.
9956. **Scorecards turn into work.** A project failing a scorecard check
996 ("no owner", "dependencies 90 days old") gets an issue an agent can fix.
997 That is the Port idea with the work done for you.
9987. **The map.** A workspace's projects as a graph, coloured by health and
999 by what is deploying now.
1000
1001### Pages
1002
1003- `g1t.sh/<workspace>`: projects first (grouped, with health and
1004 production status), then repositories.
1005- `g1t.sh/<workspace>/<project>`: overview (production, latest previews,
1006 health, owners, dependencies both ways), **Deployments**,
1007 **Environments**, **Secrets and variables**, **Logs**, **Settings**
1008 (source, root directory, build, domains, groups, owners).
1009- A hosted repository keeps its code pages; from a project they are its
1010 **Code** tab. A repository page lists the projects built from it.
1011
1012### Services
1013
1014- `services/projects` (new): projects, groups, sources, dependencies,
1015 owners, scorecards. Events `project.created`, `project.updated`,
1016 `dependency.changed`.
1017- `services/deployments`: keyed by project instead of repository.
1018- Secrets and variables: the scope becomes workspace → project.
1019- Sources: the hosted adapter wraps `services/repos`; a mirror adapter
1020 per provider in `services/integrations`, which already holds those
1021 connections.
1022
1023### Build order
1024
10251. **Projects as the home of deployments and secrets**, 1:1 with every
1026 existing repository: the service, the pages, deployments and secrets
1027 moved to the project, `<project>--<workspace>.g1t.page`.
10282. **Dependencies:** declared in the UI and `.g1t/project.yml`, reference
1029 variables, impact on pull requests and in agents' context, the map.
10303. **Preview stacks** and cross-project change sets.
10314. **Monorepos:** several projects on one repository, each with a root
1032 directory, building only what a push touched.
10335. **Mirrored sources:** GitHub first, then GitLab and Bitbucket.
10346. **Groups, owners, scorecards** feeding the upkeep agents.
10357. **Environments** with protection rules; custom domains; logs.
1036
Projects: what a workspace builds and runs, first on every page1037**Step 1 shipped 2026-10-04:** `services/projects`; every repository a
1038project of its own name; the site projects-first (workspace page of
1039project cards, the project overview at `g1t.sh/<workspace>/<project>`, code
1040under `/code`, the sidebar and the New project flow); deployments keyed by
1041project and branch at `<project>-<workspace>.g1t.page` and
1042`<project>-git-<branch>-<workspace>.g1t.page`; secrets and variables owned
1043by the project.
1044
Invite-only launch: sign in with GitHub, repository access and lifecycle, many emails, a new look1045**Step 5, GitHub, built 2026-10-05:** one GitHub App (`g1t-sh`) for both
1046sign-in and repository access. Sign-in is its user authorization with PKCE
1047(identity, `src/github.rs`): accounts known by GitHub's numeric id, a
1048matching verified email never linked without signing in to the account,
1049new accounts behind the invite check. Repositories come through its
1050installations (integrations, `src/github.rs`), copied with every branch and
1051tag by the repos service (`src/mirror.rs`) as **import**, **mirror** (g1t
1052follows GitHub on its push webhook) or **move to g1t** (GitHub follows g1t
1053on `git.push`). A mirror is a hosted repository that keeps a full copy, so
1054its project stays `hosted` and deploys like any other; the tie lives in
1055integrations' `github_repos`. Not yet: previews and statuses on GitHub's own
1056pull requests, comments and pull requests copied, GitLab and Bitbucket.
1057
Projects: what a workspace builds and runs, first on every page1058### People and search
1059
1060> **2026-10-04:** "pull up user profiles, using a /u/username prefix kinda
1061> like DockerHub … search for users if you search that explicitly, how
1062> GitHub has the aside for searching against filters … a significantly
1063> stronger implementation."
1064
1065- **Profiles at `g1t.sh/u/<username>`**, apart from workspaces at
1066 `g1t.sh/<workspace>`: who they are, their workspaces, recent work,
1067 agents' sessions they steered.
1068- **Search with a filter sidebar:** Projects, Code, Issues, Pull requests,
1069 Users, Workspaces, each with its count; filters by workspace, language,
1070 state, author, agent, label, date; qualifiers in the query
g1t is one name: its agent's work, commits and comments show as @g1t, and nobody can claim g1t or g1t-agent1071 (`user:`, `is:open`, `agent:g1t`) as on GitHub. Typing `u/name`
Projects: what a workspace builds and runs, first on every page1072 searches people directly, as Docker Hub does.
1073
Plan: Projects, the home of everything about running software10741 and 2 serve the competition directly (multi-agent coordination across
1075projects is 25% of the score); 3 is the demo's best moment if time allows.
1076
Plan: the billing model1077## Billing model
1078
1079> **2026-10-04:** "Some things just require you to have a card on file …
1080> some things will be something you give us an initial amount of money
1081> per month just to activate, tons of things additionally will be usage
1082> based, some things will just be usage based only … at minimum a
1083> breakeven with Cloudflare costs, or in some cases a value add." Stripe
1084> moves to Flagon, Inc. (g1t.sh is its product). Proposed below; the
1085> prices are the user's to confirm.
1086
1087### Four kinds of charge
1088
1089Every feature is exactly one of these, and the Billing page says which:
1090
1091| Kind | What the workspace does | Example |
1092| --- | --- | --- |
1093| **Free** | Nothing | Hosting code, issues, pull requests, review, the merge queue, bringing your own agent over MCP |
Prices are what g1t pays plus 20%, from the first second1094| **Card on file** | Adds a card; pays only for what it uses | Previews, g1t's agents, workflow minutes |
Plan: the billing model1095| **Activation** | Turns a feature on for a monthly fee that includes an allowance; usage past it is metered | Production deployments, Security and quality |
1096| **Usage only** | Nothing up front; every unit is metered | Model tokens, build minutes, storage past the free amount |
1097
1098A card is needed before anything that can cost money starts. Nothing is
1099ever switched on without the workspace choosing it.
1100
1101### Postpaid, with spend limits
1102
1103- **One Stripe customer and one subscription per workspace**, on Flagon,
1104 Inc.'s account. Activations are licensed line items; every usage
1105 dimension is a metered price backed by a Stripe Meter. Stripe invoices
1106 monthly in arrears and charges the card on file; failed payments go
1107 through Stripe's retries and emails, and g1t hears of them by webhook.
1108- **Spend limits instead of prepaid credit.** A workspace sets a monthly
1109 limit overall and per feature (Vercel's spend management). g1t counts
1110 usage as it happens and stops starting new paid work at the limit,
1111 with a warning at 50%, 80% and 100%. Prepaid top-ups go away; promotions
1112 (the free model allowance) become Stripe credit on the customer.
1113- **Usage reaches Stripe from billing alone.** Every service reports
1114 usage to the billing service as it happens (it already records agent
1115 runs and builds); billing batches them into Stripe meter events every
1116 few minutes, idempotently by g1t's own ids, and keeps the ledger g1t's
1117 pages show. Nothing else talks to Stripe.
1118
1119### Scope: workspace, then projects
1120
1121- A feature is turned on for the **workspace** (by an owner, with the
1122 activation if it has one), then allowed for **all projects** or
1123 **selected projects**.
1124- Every **project** can opt out on its own page. A project with nothing
1125 to deploy (no Workers config, no build script, no `index.html`) is
1126 detected, says so on its Deployments page, and never builds or costs
1127 anything.
1128- Agents and workflows are allowed per project the same way, so a
1129 workspace can keep spend to the projects that matter.
1130
Plan: prices pass every Cloudflare cost through1131### Prices: what it costs us, passed through
1132
1133> **2026-10-04, decided:** postpaid with spend limits, as Vercel and
1134> Cloudflare do; no per-seat price, ever ("fuck per-seat pricing").
1135> "If they're barely using them great, but if they're using the shit out
1136> of them that will cost me a ton, so that cost needs to move onto them."
1137
1138**Every Cloudflare cost a workspace causes is metered to it.** Light use
1139fits in a small free allowance; past it, each unit is charged at
1140Cloudflare's price times a margin of at least 1.5, which pays for Stripe
1141(about 3%), shared overhead (the site, the API, D1) and g1t itself.
Plan: the billing model1142
Plan: prices pass every Cloudflare cost through1143Cloudflare's prices (October 2026), and the cost per unit g1t meters:

Plan: the billing model1183
Plan: prices pass every Cloudflare cost through1184A workspace that uses g1t lightly (a few agent runs, a small site)
1185pays nothing or its activation; a workspace running agents all day pays
1186for the sandboxes and models those agents use, with g1t's margin on
1187each. Nothing in a workspace's bill is subsidised by another's.
Plan: the billing model1188
1189### Build order
1190
11911. Stripe customer per workspace and card on file (Checkout in setup
1192 mode), webhooks (invoice paid and failed, subscription changes,
1193 payment method changes), the Billing page rebuilt around the four
1194 kinds.
11952. One subscription per workspace with activations as items; Deployments
1196 moves onto it.
Plan: prices pass every Cloudflare cost through11973. Meters for each usage dimension above, fed from billing's ledger:
1198 every sandbox reports how long it ran when it stops (agents, checks,
1199 the queue, workflow jobs and deploy builds alike); deployments report
1200 requests, CPU and apps; repos report storage and git operations. Spend
Plan: the billing model1201 limits and their warnings; prepaid credit retired.
12024. Per-workspace allow-lists of projects for each feature, and per-project
1203 opt-out; "nothing to deploy" detection.
Billing accounts, terms and enterprises; g1t is no longer free12045. Turn off FREE_WHILE_BUILDING when the user says so. **Done 2026-10-05.**
1205
1206Shipped by 2026-10-05: sandbox seconds for every sandbox; the price book
1207and its keeper (runs settled to AI Gateway's price every 15 minutes;
1208Container and Workers costs checked against Cloudflare's billable usage
1209and container analytics daily, with a public change log on
1210g1t.sh/pricing); usage limits by trust with automatic payment near the
1211limit; app traffic counted toward limits as it happens; billing accounts,
1212terms and enterprises; free mode off, syntaqx comped.
1213
1214Still to build, in order: Stripe card-on-file without a payment (setup
1215mode) and webhooks; month-end invoices for postpaid usage (and one
1216invoice per enterprise); the subscription with activations as items;
1217storage and git-operation meters; limit warnings by email at 50/80/100%;
1218self-serve enterprise management for enterprise owners.
1219
1220### Accounts, terms and enterprises
1221
1222Every workspace is paid for by a billing account: its own (`ws_<slug>`)
1223or an enterprise's (`ent_…`), which pays for several workspaces with one
1224limit, one set of terms and, once invoices exist, one bill, as GitHub
1225Enterprise does. Terms are standard, comped (nothing charged, usage still
1226recorded at cost, paid features on) or custom (a discount, its own
1227ceiling, an end date). g1t staff manage them in **sudo.g1t.sh**, a
1228separate Worker behind Cloudflare Access that also verifies the Access
1229token itself and allows only listed staff emails; every change is kept
1230with who made it and why.
1231
1232### Limits: stop non-payers, never payers
1233
1234The limit is on usage not yet paid for, counted at cost to g1t or charge,
1235whichever is more: $3 before any live payment, then twice what has been
1236paid ($25 to $1,000), or what staff set. A workspace with a card on file
1237is charged automatically near its limit, which both pays what it owes and
1238raises the limit, so paying users are never stopped. A declined card
1239stops work until paid. The owner's own spend limit always means stop.
1240Test-mode payments never lower exposure or raise trust.
Plan: the billing model1241
Merge Stripe Tax, the card fee on card payments, and one free workspace per person1242### Tax, card fees and free workspaces (built 2026-10-08)
1243
1244> **2026-10-08, decided:** Stripe Tax everywhere ("so I don't fuck up on
1245> taxes"); Stripe's card fee passed to the customer with the 20% markup
1246> kept; one free workspace per person; no invites on free workspaces.
1247
1248- **Stripe Tax on every payment.** `automatic_tax` on every Checkout page
1249 (plan, Security and quality, prepaying, AI credit), every subscription
1250 and every invoice g1t makes (month close, threshold, enterprise), and a
1251 tax calculation and transaction for auto-reload's off-session charge.
1252 Tax code `txcd_10103001` (SaaS, business use), every price
1253 `tax_behavior=exclusive`. Checkout always collects the billing address
1254 and tax ID and saves them on the customer. Prices on g1t are shown
1255 excluding tax. Tax is never revenue: balances and plan payments are
1256 credited without it, it is kept in `tax_and_fees`, shown as its own
1257 statement line, and as **Tax collected** on sudo's Costs. Without an
1258 address g1t does not charge: the owners are asked for one.
1259- **The card fee** (2.9% + $0.30, grossed up) is its own line on every
1260 card payment, the plan's and Security's as a monthly item; never on a
1261 bank transfer or an enterprise's invoice. On by default
1262 (`cost_settings.card_fee`). Not revenue either. Meters stay at cost +
1263 20%; models at the provider's price plus the agent rate.
1264- **One free workspace per person.** Identity asks billing
1265 (`free_workspaces`) before creating one; a second is refused with the
1266 way forward. Those who own several from before keep them.
1267- **A free workspace adds no one**: no members, invites or outside
1268 collaborators until it starts the plan; its members stay; @g1t never
1269 counts. Enforced in identity for every path (site, API, MCP).
1270- Details: docs/BILLING_OPERATIONS.md, *Tax and the card fee*.
1271
Billing: credits with a kind and expiry, discounts instead of comped, and safer charging1272### Promo codes (planned)
1273
1274Staff credits (promotional, goodwill, refund; `services/billing/src/grants.rs`,
1275docs/BILLING_OPERATIONS.md) are given one workspace at a time. Promo codes
1276give promotional credit in bulk, on redemption, through the same grants:
1277
1278- **Codes.** sudo → Credits & refunds → **New code**: the code (or one
1279 made up), the credit ($ amount), max redemptions, when the code stops
1280 working, how long each redeemed credit lasts (an expiry, as any grant),
1281 and a note. Table `promo_codes` (code, amount, max, redeemed, ends_at,
1282 credit_days, note, created_by, disabled_at) and `promo_redemptions`
1283 (code, workspace, grant id, by, at), unique on (code, workspace).
1284- **Redeeming.** An owner types it on the workspace's Billing page
1285 (`redeem_code`, owners only). One D1 batch checks the code is open, under
1286 its max and not redeemed by the workspace, counts the redemption and
1287 makes the grant (`grant_credit`, kind promotional, the code as its note),
1288 so two redemptions at once never pass the max. Wrong or used-up codes say
1289 so without telling which codes exist; redemptions are rate-limited per
1290 owner.
1291- **Seeing them.** Each code's redemptions, credit given and spent come
1292 from the grants it made, so margin needs nothing new: spent promo credit
1293 is already given away, by kind.
1294- **Not yet built** because it adds an owner-facing form, abuse limits and
1295 a second sudo form; giving credit by workspace covers launch.
1296
Initial g1t: services, event bus, intents and attempts1297## Agents and models
1298
1299### Defining an agent
1300
1301An agent is a file (`.g1t/agents/<name>.md`, or in the workspace library):
1302instructions, the harness and model to run, the tools and MCP servers it may
1303use, its sandbox image, permissions and budget. Agents take roles: planner,
1304implementer, reviewer, conflict resolver, documenter, memory consolidator.
1305Each role has a default that a repo can replace.
1306
1307### Where it runs, and on whose model
1308
1309| Option | How it works | Fits |
1310| --- | --- | --- |
1311| Hosted, g1t's model | g1t runs the sandbox and bills usage | Getting started; no keys to manage |
1312| Hosted, your API key | Same sandbox, your Anthropic, OpenAI or Google key | Teams with existing contracts |
1313| Hosted, your endpoint | Any OpenAI-compatible URL: Bedrock, Vertex, Azure, a self-hosted model | Private or fine-tuned models |
Issues and pull requests replace intents and attempts1314| Your runner | A g1t runner daemon on your own machines picks up pull requests | Code or models that may not leave your network |
Initial g1t: services, event bus, intents and attempts1315| Your own session | Local Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client joins through `mcp.g1t.sh` | Individuals; subscription plans |
1316
1317Decisions behind this:
1318
1319- **g1t does not build its own agent loop.** It runs existing harnesses
1320 (Claude Code first, through its headless mode) behind a small runner
1321 contract: a container image, an entry command, and session events reported
1322 through the CLI. Other harnesses plug in by meeting the contract.
1323- **All hosted model traffic goes through Cloudflare AI Gateway.** That gives
1324 one place for spend tracking, budgets, rate limits, fallback and logs,
1325 whichever provider or endpoint is behind it.
Merge branch 'model-routing'1326- **Nobody has to pick a model.** A person assigns work to `g1t`, as
1327 they would assign an issue to a colleague, and **Auto** routes each job
1328 to the cheapest model that can do it (see
1329 [Routing for cost](#routing-for-cost) below). A workspace can pin a tier
1330 per kind of work instead. Each request is tagged at the gateway with the
1331 kind of work, the tier, the repository and the pull request, and each
1332 run says which model ran and why. The gateway's own dynamic routes
1333 cannot make the choice yet: they work only on its OpenAI-compatible
1334 endpoint, and the harness speaks Anthropic's.
Initial g1t: services, event bus, intents and attempts1335- **Subscriptions stay local.** A Claude subscription cannot be used by a
1336 hosted sandbox; it needs an API key. People on subscriptions use their own
1337 Claude Code session, which is a full participant.
Merge branch 'model-routing'1338- **The workspace pays.** A workspace buys AI credit by card and each
1339 agent run deducts the model at the provider's price plus the agent rate
1340 per million (weighted) tokens; on its own model key, only the agent rate,
1341 counted from the model proxy and the sandbox's own report. The billing service asks
Agents as a team: lifecycle, merge queue, billing and a new shell1342 nothing of the others: the runner asks it before starting a sandbox and
1343 is refused when there is no credit, and the sandbox reports what its run
1344 cost with a token only it holds. Where no card processor is configured
1345 nothing is charged and agents stay limited to listed accounts.
Initial g1t: services, event bus, intents and attempts1346- **Keys are secrets.** Stored in Cloudflare Secrets Store, injected into the
Issues and pull requests replace intents and attempts1347 sandbox for one pull request, never shown again.
Initial g1t: services, event bus, intents and attempts1348
Agents as a team: lifecycle, merge queue, billing and a new shell1349### Seeing a pull request through
1350
1351Assigning an issue is the only thing a person does until there is something
g1t is one name: its agent's work, commits and comments show as @g1t, and nobody can claim g1t or g1t-agent1352to merge. A pull request made by g1t goes through checks, a review
Agents as a team: lifecycle, merge queue, billing and a new shell1353by another agent, revision when either finds something, and catching up
1354when `main` moves, without anyone pressing a button. It ends as ready to
1355merge, or as "needs you" with the reason: the checks still fail after two
1356revisions, a review could not be written, or a conflict could not be
1357resolved.
1358
1359The work service decides the next step from the pull request's state and
1360claims it in one statement, so a step is taken once. The runner asks on
1361every event that could change the answer (ready, pushed, checks finished,
1362review finished, `main` moved), and on a five-minute sweep for anything
1363missed, and carries the step out in a sandbox.
1364
1365A pull request does not have to be up to date with `main` to merge,
1366unless the repository's settings require it, as on GitHub. Merging one that
1367is behind brings it up to date first (a clean merge needs no model; an
1368agent resolves a conflict) and lands it when that push arrives. With the
1369requirement on, catching up is a step of its own and the checks run again
1370on the result.
1371
1372Each repository sets its own rules, on one settings page: whether its
1373default branch takes pushes at all, how many approvals a merge needs and
1374whether an agent's counts, whether failed checks can be overridden, whether
1375a second agent reviews, and how often an agent is sent back before a person
g1t is one name: its agent's work, commits and comments show as @g1t, and nobody can claim g1t or g1t-agent1376is asked. A pull request g1t opens follows the same rules as anyone's.
Agents as a team: lifecycle, merge queue, billing and a new shell1377Pushes to a protected branch are refused in the git front end, with the
1378reason shown by git beside the branch.
1379
1380Merging is a person's decision unless the repository says otherwise. With
1381"merge automatically when ready" turned on in its settings, a ready pull
1382request lands by itself, attributed to `g1t`. That is the whole path from
1383an assigned issue to a commit on `main` with nobody in between. Required
1384human approval per path, and risk tiers, are still to come.
1385
Merge branch 'model-routing'1386### Routing for cost
1387
1388*Built (runner `route` in `services/runner/src/model-env.ts`).* The goal
1389is cost per merged change, not cost per request: a cheap attempt that
1390fails and is retried on the same model costs more than one that finishes.
1391
Merge branch 'main' into worktree-agent-a69aeabc4b0deeb971392- **Tiers and catalogue.** `small` (Claude Haiku 5.5 since 2026-10-08,
1393 $0.10/$0.50 per million input/output up to 100k-token prompts, five
1394 times that above; it was Haiku 4.5 at $1/$5), `large` (Claude Sonnet 5.5, $2/$10) and `frontier`
Merge branch 'main' into actions-toolkit-oidc-artifacts1395 (Claude Opus 5.5, $4/$20). Models, names and list prices are data,
1396 never code: since 2026-10-08 billing's model catalogue
1397 (`gateway_models`, one row per model g1t can use) and staff's defaults
1398 in sudo, **Agents & models** (`model_defaults`: each tier's model, the
1399 harness's background model, the AI Gateway's first Claude, each job's
1400 starting tier and effort), read by the runner once a minute over
1401 `AGENT_ROUTING`, which is only the fallback when billing cannot be read.
1402 Catalogue prices are for estimates only; runs are charged what AI
1403 Gateway priced them at.
1404- **Keeping up with new models (built 2026-10-08).** The models service
1405 lists Anthropic's models (through the AI Gateway) and Workers AI's daily
1406 and on demand; a new id lands in the catalogue as `new`, priced from a
1407 maintained table of Anthropic's list prices or Workers AI's listing, or
1408 unpriced, and staff are emailed. Nothing routes to it, offers it or
1409 charges for it until staff approve it with its prices. A model a provider
1410 stops listing is `deprecated`; routing never sends work to a deprecated
1411 or retired model, falling back to the next model of the tier and saying
1412 so on the run. Customers keep Auto: the catalogue is staff's. See
1413 [BILLING_OPERATIONS.md](BILLING_OPERATIONS.md#the-model-catalogue).
Merge branch 'model-routing'1414- **Starting tier by job.** Catch-up, answering a question, and reviews of
1415 at most 10 files and 200 lines touching no sensitive path: small.
Merge branch 'main' into worktree-agent-a69aeabc4b0deeb971416 Plans: small at high effort (Haiku 5.5 takes an effort level).
1417 Changes, revisions and other reviews: large. Reviews over 60 files
Merge branch 'model-routing'1418 or 3,000 lines: frontier. Labels: `architecture` frontier, `security` off
1419 small, `docs`/`documentation`/`typo` let changes and answers start small.
1420- **Escalation.** A failed (or guardrail-stopped) attempt at the same work
1421 goes one tier up; two in a row, frontier; a revision counts its rounds;
1422 a change left at low confidence sends the next attempt up.
1423- **Learning, per repository.** From the last 20 runs of the same kind:
1424 one tier down when the cheaper tier finished at least 90% of at least 5
1425 (never for sensitive or labelled work, never on a retry); one tier up
1426 when this tier failed at least half of at least 5. No new tables: it
1427 reads work's `agent_runs` (model, status, confidence).
1428- **Explained.** Every run's first step and session note is one line:
Merge branch 'main' into worktree-agent-a69aeabc4b0deeb971429 *Used a fast model (Claude Haiku 5.5): small change, 3 files and 80
1430 lines.* Effort per kind of job (`effort` in `AGENT_ROUTING`: plan high,
1431 answer medium, update low) is sent as `CLAUDE_CODE_EFFORT_LEVEL` on
Merge branch 'main' into actions-toolkit-oidc-artifacts1432 g1t's tiers (never on a model the catalogue says takes none) and named
1433 in that line, with the catalogue's name for the model.
Merge branch 'model-routing'1434- **Chosen instead.** `model_routes` rows to g1t's models name `small`,
1435 `large` or `frontier`, or nothing for Auto (Integrations → Models).
1436 A workspace's own Anthropic key with no model named is routed by Auto
1437 too.
1438- **Measured.** `scripts/ops/routing-savings.mjs` replays tasks through
1439 the router offline, priced from the catalogue, against routing before
1440 Auto and against the frontier model for everything, net of failed
1441 attempts, with cost per merged change; `--live` reads billing's runs and
1442 counted tokens. On the bundled sample (13 tasks, assumed failures): Auto
1443 costs 7% less than the frontier model for everything and about 7% more
1444 per run than routing before it, but half as much per merged change,
1445 because it finishes the hard tasks the old routing gave up on. At
1446 current prices Opus 5.5 and Sonnet 5.5 cost the same per cache read, and
1447 cache reads are most of an agent run's tokens, so moving off the
1448 frontier model saves less than its list price suggests; the fast tier
1449 and fewer failed attempts are where the money is. Run `--live` monthly
1450 and after any routing change.
1451- **A cheaper route for the simplest jobs (designed, off).** A fourth tier
1452 on Workers AI through AI Gateway (an open model, billed on Cloudflare's
1453 invoice) for classification-sized jobs: commit messages, triage,
1454 summaries. Behind the same router as a tier with its own catalogue entry
1455 and `tasks` rules, off by default. It needs the proxy to translate the
1456 harness's Anthropic requests to the gateway's OpenAI-compatible
1457 endpoint (it already does for workspaces' own OpenAI-shaped providers)
1458 and a quality bar from the savings harness before any job moves to it.
1459
Initial g1t: services, event bus, intents and attempts1460### Choosing the right agent automatically
1461
Issues and pull requests replace intents and attempts1462Because several agents can work on the same issue, every issue with more
1463than one pull request is an evaluation on real work. g1t records, per repo and per kind of issue, each
Initial g1t: services, event bus, intents and attempts1464agent's win rate, cost and time. That produces a leaderboard, and a routing

Initial g1t: services, event bus, intents and attempts1466start with the cheapest that is good enough, and escalate to a stronger one
1467when checks fail.
1468
Plan: the inbox, then channels and apps, instead of discussions1469## Talking: the inbox and channels
1470
1471Not a discussions forum. People and agents need one place to talk in real
1472time, and an app that feels like one on desktop and phone.
1473
1474**The inbox comes first.** Everything that needs a person or that they
1475follow, from people and agents: review requests, agent questions and
1476handoffs, failures, mentions, deploys. Read and unread, saved, done,
1477snoozed; ranked so what an agent is blocked on comes first; email digests
1478and push. It is the delivery layer chat needs too (who is told what, read
1479state, push), so building it first makes channels cheap.
1480
Docs: inbox threads, reasons, subscriptions, watching, email, API and MCP1481*Built:* the events service keeps it (`services/events/src/inbox.rs` and
1482`subscriptions.rs`, migrations `0005_inbox` and `0006_inbox_threads` on the
1483`g1t-events` database), writing items as events arrive from the bus; work's
1484`inbox_subject` says what each event names. Each person has one **thread**
1485per issue, pull request, workflow on a branch or deployment: new activity
1486brings it back unread with a count and its last 10 activities, and while it
1487is unread its most urgent severity is kept. Each item has a **reason**
1488(`agent`, `review_requested`, `assign`, `mention`, `ci_activity`,
1489`security_alert`, `state_change`, `author`, `comment`, `manual`,
1490`subscribed`). Who is told: `agent.asked` and `pull.stalled` (needs you,
1491closed again by `pull.resumed` and the like), `pull.review_requested`
1492(needs you, closed by `pull.review_request_removed`),
1493`issue.assigned`/`pull.assigned`, failed checks and workflows,
1494`deployment.failed` and a recovering `deployment.succeeded`, g1t's reviews
1495and finished changes, closes, reopens and merges to everyone subscribed,
1496and comments to the people mentioned and everyone subscribed. Never the
1497actor, never g1t. **Subscriptions**: authors, assignees and reviewers are
1498subscribed without a row; commenting or being mentioned subscribes; anyone
1499can subscribe, unsubscribe (still told of what is asked of them) or ignore.
1500**Watching** a repository: participating (the default), all, ignore, or
1501custom (issues, pulls, deployments, security); whoever creates a repository
1502watches it at their default, all activity unless they change it.
1503**Settings**: which reasons are also emailed (agent, review_requested and
1504mention by default) and the default watch for new repositories; email goes
1505through identity's `notify_by_email`, to a confirmed address only while the

1507`/notifications`, `/repos/:owner/:name/subscription` and
1508`/user/subscriptions` (scopes `notifications:read` and
1509`notifications:write`, in the Agent preset), and the `notifications` MCP

Docs: the inbox, what lands in it and why, its tabs and actions1519
Plan: the inbox, then channels and apps, instead of discussions1520**Channels** (working name): workspace channels, direct messages and
1521threads, live.
1522
1523- Each channel is a Durable Object holding its WebSocket connections with
1524 hibernation, so idle channels cost nothing; history in D1, files in R2.
g1t is one name: its agent's work, commits and comments show as @g1t, and nobody can claim g1t or g1t-agent1525- Agents are members. `@g1t` in a channel starts work, answers, or
Plan: the inbox, then channels and apps, instead of discussions1526 posts a summary; agents post their questions and handoffs where people
1527 already are. A thread becomes an issue or an outcome in one action, and
1528 the agent's progress streams into that thread.
1529- Tied to the work: issues, pull requests, runs and deploys each have a
1530 thread; links unfurl into live cards (checks, agent step, preview).
1531 What a channel settles can become workspace memory, with its source.
1532- Apps: an installable PWA first (desktop and mobile, offline shell, Web
1533 Push), then native shells on the same API: Tauri for desktop (tray,
1534 deep links), React Native for iOS and Android (background
1535 notifications).
1536
1537GitHub-style Discussions are not planned: channels and threads on the
1538work replace them.

Initial g1t: services, event bus, intents and attempts1540## What GitHub ships today, and where g1t differs
1541
1542GitHub's Agent HQ and Copilot app give each agent session its own git
1543worktree and branch, list sessions in a mission-control view grouped by
1544project, and let a task be assigned to several agents so their output can be
1545compared. Underneath, the unit of work is still a branch and a pull request.
1546
1547| | GitHub | g1t |
1548| --- | --- | --- |
1549| Where a session works | A worktree on one developer's machine, or a cloud sandbox | A server-side fork that any agent on any machine can join and anyone can open |
1550| Agent context | Lives in the app's session view | Stored with the repository and linked from each commit (why-blame) |
Issues and pull requests replace intents and attempts1551| Several agents on one task | Separate pull requests to compare by hand | One issue holding every pull request made for it, compared side by side, with the merged one recorded on the issue |
Initial g1t: services, event bus, intents and attempts1552| Collisions between agents | Found as merge conflicts at the end | Flagged during the work (overlap radar) |
Issues and pull requests replace intents and attempts1553| Landing changes | One pull request at a time | A merge queue that lands the chosen one and closes the rest as superseded |
Initial g1t: services, event bus, intents and attempts1554| Which agents | Those offered through a Copilot subscription | Any MCP client, plus hosted agents |
1555
1556## How agents connect
1557
15581. **Bring your own agent.** A remote MCP server at `mcp.g1t.sh` lets Claude
Issues and pull requests replace intents and attempts1559 Code (or any MCP client) list issues, claim one, get a clone URL and
Initial g1t: services, event bus, intents and attempts1560 token, report progress and submit. Adding it is one command; sign-in is a
1561 browser OAuth flow with no token to paste. The `g1t` CLI installs Claude
1562 Code hooks that upload the session transcript as the agent works.
g1t is one name: its agent's work, commits and comments show as @g1t, and nobody can claim g1t or g1t-agent15632. **g1t's agent.** Assign an issue to g1t, or many issues at
Agents as a team: lifecycle, merge queue, billing and a new shell1564 once, each to an agent of its own. g1t starts a sandbox for each

Initial g1t: services, event bus, intents and attempts15673. **API and CLI.** Everything above is available at `api.g1t.sh` and
1568 through `g1t`.

1570## Public surfaces
1571
1572| Host | What it serves |
1573| --- | --- |
1574| `g1t.sh` | The site, git over HTTPS, git over SSH |
Agents as a team: lifecycle, merge queue, billing and a new shell1575| `api.g1t.sh` | REST API, with no version in its paths, with a published OpenAPI document, cursor pagination, rate-limit headers, idempotency keys on writes, server-sent events for live pull request state, and signed webhooks |

OAuth 2.1 sign-in for MCP clients and other applications1579dynamic client registration that stores nothing (a client id encodes its
1580own registration, so the open endpoint cannot be used to fill a database),
1581discovery metadata and rotating refresh tokens. Still to come: scopes

Merge branch 'worktree-agent-a8385d293d42c913a'1586### Workspace aliases (internal, built 2026-10-07)
1587
1588`g1t` is the product; `flagon-io` is Flagon, Inc., the organization that
1589builds it. So nobody mistakes one for the other, `g1t.sh/g1t` leads to
1590`g1t.sh/flagon-io`. That is a workspace alias: a name g1t's staff point at
1591a workspace, kept in identity's `workspace_aliases` (migration 0029, which
1592seeds `g1t`) by the workspace's id, so it follows renames. It is not a
1593customer feature and is not documented for users; staff add and remove
1594aliases on sudo's Aliases page, with a reason, in sudo's audit log. We may
1595give other companies one for a trading name the same way.
1596
1597An alias is resolved wherever an old slug is (identity's `resolve_slug`),
1598so it costs only the not-found path: site pages 301 to the same page under
1599the workspace, the API and MCP run the call again under its slug, package
1600registries 301, and git over HTTPS is answered in place
1601(`resolve_alias`), because pushes do not follow redirects. An alias is
1602never a route, a username or a workspace's slug, and nobody can register
1603it while it exists. `@g1t` stays g1t's agent: mentions link to how the
1604agent works, never to `/g1t`.
1605
Initial g1t: services, event bus, intents and attempts1606## Architecture
1607
1608| Component | Language | Runs on | Responsibility |
1609| --- | --- | --- | --- |
Issues and pull requests replace intents and attempts1610| `crates/contracts`, `packages/contracts` | Rust, TypeScript | — | The interface of every service, the event catalogue, shared types. Services and clients depend on this, never on each other's code. |
OAuth 2.1 sign-in for MCP clients and other applications1611| `services/identity` | Rust | Worker + D1 | Accounts, workspaces and memberships, sessions, SSH keys, access tokens, device sign-in, OAuth codes and grants |
Issues and pull requests replace intents and attempts1612| `services/repos` | Rust | Worker + D1 + Artifacts | Repository registry, contents, forks, diffs, landing, git over HTTPS. Storage sits behind a `GitStore` port with an Artifacts adapter. |
1613| `services/work` | Rust | Worker + D1 | Issues, pull requests, comments, sessions; later a Durable Object per repo for the landing queue and live state |
Agents as a team: lifecycle, merge queue, billing and a new shell1614| `services/billing` | Rust | Worker + D1 + Stripe | Each workspace's agent credit: payments, the ledger of every run, and the gate on starting one |
Events service in Rust, with RFC 3339 times and accurate push events1615| `services/events` | Rust | Worker + Queues + D1 | The event bus: durable log, and one queue per subscribing service |
g1t is one name: its agent's work, commits and comments show as @g1t, and nobody can claim g1t or g1t-agent1616| `services/runner`, `crates/runner` | TypeScript, Rust | Worker + Containers | Starts a sandbox per g1t run; the program inside runs the agent harness and reports through the public API |
Social cards for every page: og.g1t.sh1617| `services/og` | TypeScript | Worker + Cache API | Social cards at `og.g1t.sh`: one PNG per page of the site and the docs (satori and resvg), looked up as an anonymous visitor, so nothing private appears on one |
Initial g1t: services, event bus, intents and attempts1618| `apps/web` | TypeScript | Worker | Server-rendered site. Holds no data; calls services over RPC. |
Issues and pull requests replace intents and attempts1619| `apps/docs` | TypeScript | Worker (static) | Documentation and the API explorer |
API and MCP server in Rust; a public index at the API root1620| `apps/api` | Rust | Worker | REST API (`api.g1t.sh`), MCP server (`mcp.g1t.sh`) and OpenAPI document, all generated from one list of operations; the OAuth endpoints |
Initial g1t: services, event bus, intents and attempts1621| `crates/sshd` | Rust | Container | Git over SSH, bridged to Artifacts |
1622| `crates/merged` | Rust | Container | Trial merges, conflict matrix, landing merges (needs real git; the Artifacts binding is read-only) |
1623| `crates/core` | Rust | native and WASM | pkt-line, packfile and diff code shared by the above and by the Worker |
Issues and pull requests replace intents and attempts1624| `crates/g1t` | Rust | user's machine | CLI: auth, SSH proxy, Claude Code hooks, issues and pull requests |
Initial g1t: services, event bus, intents and attempts1625
Issues and pull requests replace intents and attempts1626Storage: Artifacts for repositories (one fork per pull request), D1 for accounts
Initial g1t: services, event bus, intents and attempts1627and metadata, R2 for session transcripts and logs, Durable Object SQLite for
1628per-repo coordination state.
1629
1630How the services fit together:
1631
1632- **Each service is its own Worker with its own database.** It deploys,
1633 scales and fails on its own. Callers reach it through a typed RPC binding
1634 to the interface in `packages/contracts`.
1635- **Expected failures are values.** Every call returns a `Result`, so "not
1636 found" or "forbidden" crosses a service boundary as data.
1637- **Side effects travel as events.** A service publishes what happened
Issues and pull requests replace intents and attempts1638 (`git.push`, `issue.opened`, `pull.merged`, …) to the bus and does not
Initial g1t: services, event bus, intents and attempts1639 call other services to react. Each subscriber consumes from its own queue.
1640 Timelines, webhooks and automations read the same stream, which is what
1641 lets something like GitHub Actions be built on top.
1642- **Every read takes the viewer.** Authorization is decided inside the
1643 service that owns the data, not by its callers.
1644
1645The Workers runtime scales request handling on its own, so the edge layer
1646stays in TypeScript. Rust is used where there is real computation or a real
1647protocol to implement.
1648
API and MCP server, Rust identity service, registration, site redesign1649## Languages
1650
1651The site is TypeScript. Everything behind it is Rust, compiled to
API and MCP server in Rust; a public index at the API root1652WebAssembly for Workers and natively for containers and the CLI. Identity, repos, work, events and the API are all Rust. The one exception
1653is the Worker that starts sandboxes, because Cloudflare's Containers
1654library is TypeScript. Rust services speak a
API and MCP server, Rust identity service, registration, site redesign1655small JSON protocol over service bindings (`POST /rpc/<method>`), with the
1656types in `crates/contracts`.
1657
1658## Identifiers
1659
1660Every id is a [TypeID](https://github.com/jetify-com/typeid): a prefix naming
1661the kind of thing, then a UUIDv7 in lowercase base32, such as
Issues and pull requests replace intents and attempts1662`pr_01jb2k7x9hfq0b3zj0f5s2m8ra`.
API and MCP server, Rust identity service, registration, site redesign1663
1664- The prefix makes an id self-describing and stops ids of different kinds
1665 being mixed up.
1666- Ids sort by creation time as plain strings. In SQLite (D1 and Durable
1667 Objects) that keeps inserts at the end of the primary-key index instead of
1668 scattering them, and gives time-ordered paging for free.
1669- The suffix decodes to a standard UUIDv7 for any system that wants one.
1670- Ids are made by the service that creates the record, not by the database,
1671 so they work across services and can be assigned before a write.
1672
1673## Events at scale, and audit
1674
1675The current event log is a single D1 database. That is fine for a
1676prototype and wrong for the target: D1 is one writer and 10 GB. The design
1677for volume splits storage by how the data is read.
1678
1679| Tier | Store | Holds | Read by |
1680| --- | --- | --- | --- |
1681| Hot | A Durable Object per repository, with SQLite | Recent events for that repo | Timelines, live pages over WebSocket |
1682| Complete | Cloudflare Pipelines into R2 as Apache Iceberg | Every event, forever, partitioned by day and workspace | Analytics, standups, "ask", export |
1683| Audit | The same R2 store, under object lock | Who did what, from where, with which credential | Compliance, investigation |
1684
1685- **No single hot database.** Each repository's recent events live with that
1686 repository, so load spreads across as many objects as there are repos.
1687- **The complete record is files, not rows.** Iceberg on R2 has no practical
1688 size limit and is queried with SQL.
1689- **Audit is a property of every event.** The envelope carries the actor
1690 (person, agent, token or system), the credential used, the request id and
1691 the source address. Audit entries for a workspace are hash-chained, so a
1692 removed or altered entry is detectable, and are written under a retention
1693 lock.
1694- **Delivery is at least once.** Consumers are idempotent on the event id.
1695
Initial g1t: services, event bus, intents and attempts1696## Accounts and forge basics
1697
1698- Registration with email verification, sign-in, forgot password (Cloudflare
1699 Email Sending), Turnstile on public forms.
1700- GitHub sign-in, SSH keys, access tokens, active sessions.
1701- Profiles, public and private repositories, repository search (D1 full-text).
1702- Rendered README, syntax highlighting, commit history, diffs.
Invite-only launch: sign in with GitHub, repository access and lifecycle, many emails, a new look1703- Transferring a repository between workspaces (by id: its git store key
1704 never moves; every service follows `repo.transferred`; old paths redirect
1705 until reused) and deleting an empty, settled workspace (its slug is
1706 tombstoned, never reissued except to the person whose username it is).
Merge main (membership, two-factor, GitHub repo roles) into tokens1707- Access: five repository roles (Read, Triage, Write, Maintain, Admin;
1708 the capability table follows GitHub's repository roles, 2026-10-08:
1709 branch protection and rulesets are Admin, labels and milestones are made
1710 with Write and applied with Triage, security alerts are Write), a
1711 workspace base permission (Read for new workspaces), the creator of a
1712 repository given Admin on it, outside collaborators and invitations.
1713 Membership as GitHub's organizations have it (2026-10-08): owners and
1714 members, promote and demote, transfer ownership, leave, a last-owner
1715 guard; billing manager and security manager on top of member; member
1716 privileges (who creates public and private repositories, whether
1717 repository admins change visibility, delete and transfer, and invite
1718 outside collaborators); two-factor authentication (TOTP and recovery
1719 codes) and a workspace policy that requires it, holding non-compliant
1720 people out until they turn it on. Every membership change, token, SSH
1721 key, OAuth grant and two-factor change is in the audit log. Teams are built on it (2026-10-07): visible
Teams and CODEOWNERS, labels and milestones, dependency updates, the security suite, and a clearer top bar1722 or secret, nested up to 8 levels (child teams inherit their parents'
1723 roles), run by maintainers and owners. A team's role on a repository is a
1724 `repo_grants` row whose principal is the team, which identity resolves
1725 into the same `RepoGrant`s on each person, so `access::can` needs nothing
1726 new: the highest role wins. `@workspace/team` mentions tell the team's
1727 people; a team asked to review either asks everyone or picks people by
1728 round robin or load balance.
1729- CODEOWNERS, read in both conventions (single-section, and sections with
1730 approval counts, optional sections and default owners) from the first of
1731 `.g1t/`, `.github/`, the root, `docs/` and `.gitlab/`. Owners are asked to
1732 review, the `g1t / codeowners` status lints a changed file, and branch
1733 protection's "Require review from code owners" holds merges, for people,
1734 agents and the queue alike, until each owning rule is approved.

Running g1t yourself: the design, a docker compose proof, and a guide to what works today1755## Running g1t yourself
1756
1757g1t.sh runs on Cloudflare, and that does not change. The core is MIT and
1758must also run on anyone's own machine with `docker compose up`. A free
1759core people can self-host is what makes paid hosting worth trusting.
1760Self-hosting never makes hosted worse: hosted code paths keep their
1761behaviour, and a self-hosted adapter sits beside the hosted one. The
1762inventory of every Cloudflare dependency, the design and the risks are in
1763[SELF_HOSTING.md](SELF_HOSTING.md).
1764
1765The approach: the Workers stay Workers, and self-hosted they run in
1766workerd, the open-source Workers runtime. D1, KV and Queues are SQLite on a
1767volume, with the same migrations. Cloudflare-only bindings are replaced
1768by stand-ins:
1769
1770- Artifacts becomes bare repositories served by `git http-backend`;
1771- Email Sending becomes SMTP, through Mailpit;
1772- services that are off answer "off" instead of failing.
1773
1774| Phase | Scope | Estimate |
1775| --- | --- | --- |
1776| 1. Core forge | Done: `deploy/self-host/` (compose, git store, binding stand-ins, smoke test) and the "Run g1t yourself" guide. Left: the API on its own port, `PUBLIC_URL` in place of hard-coded hosts, cron, pull requests in the smoke test, CI that runs it. | 1–1.5 weeks left |
1777| 2. Agents | Docker sandboxes with the same runner image, an egress allow-list proxy for guardrails, `g1t.toml`, a launcher in place of `wrangler dev` | 2–3 weeks |
1778| 3. Search, context, deployments | sqlite-vec plus an OpenAI-compatible embedder; an app host on workerd; Caddy for app and custom domains; SSH | 3–4 weeks |
1779| 4. Parity and upgrades | Code-level ports in `g1t_kit` and `@g1t/platform`, sudo without Access, online backups, released images, an upgrade test in CI | 3–4 weeks |

1782
1783- **g1t is built on g1t.** This repository is hosted on g1t.sh, its features
Issues and pull requests replace intents and attempts1784 are opened as issues and built by racing agents, and it deploys from
Initial g1t: services, event bus, intents and attempts1785 Artifacts through Workers Builds. The history is the proof.
Issues and pull requests replace intents and attempts1786- **The demo follows one story.** A brief becomes a project; twelve issues
Initial g1t: services, event bus, intents and attempts1787 fan out to dozens of agents; agents notice each other, hand off, and
1788 resolve a conflict; reviewers triage; the queue lands everything on
1789 `main`; why-blame explains a line; the portfolio shows where it all
1790 stands. Then the same thing at a thousand agents.
1791- **Judges can try it in a minute.** Open registration on g1t.sh, one-click
1792 import of a GitHub repo, one command to connect Claude Code, a seeded demo
1793 workspace, and a single deploy command for running their own copy.
1794- **The formats are open.** The commit trailers, session format and runner
1795 contract are published so other tools can interoperate.

1797## Build order
1798
Agents as a team: lifecycle, merge queue, billing and a new shell1799What is left is ordered by how much it shows the point above, not by forge
1800parity. Forge basics are done well enough; each item below should make the
1801demo's story stronger.
1802
Plan: what is done from the agent-first list, and what is next1803Done from this list: the outcome page (a plan's issues as a live graph with
1804cost and a feed of what happened), coordination you can see (agents' issues
1805and comments stand out in the feed; agents hold g1t's tools through a token
1806scoped to one repository), steering a running agent (messages delivered
1807between steps, and at the end), and recording sessions from anyone's own
Plan: integrations are in1808Claude Code (`curl -fsSL https://g1t.sh/install/claude.sh | sh`). Integrations are
1809in: a workspace's own model provider (Anthropic or any Anthropic-compatible
Prices are what g1t pays plus 20%, from the first second1810endpoint, reached through a model proxy so no sandbox holds a key; its
1811runs pay only their sandbox time), alerts from Sentry, Datadog and signed webhooks
Plan: integrations are in1812that open one issue per problem and can start an agent, and Jira and Linear
1813tickets that agents read, people import, and that hear back. Racing a

1815use is not something people should have to do.
Agents as a team: lifecycle, merge queue, billing and a new shell1816
Agents asked while not at work are woken to answer18171. ~~**Handoffs and questions between agents** as states on the outcome
1818 page.~~ Done: questions and handoffs show as waiting, read, answered,
1819 taken on or declined; since 2026-10-03 an agent asked while it is not at
1820 work is woken to answer, where before the question waited forever.
Plan: a repository that maintains itself, and deployments on g1t.page18212. **Upkeep agents** (above): dependency updates, secret scanning,
1822 vulnerability alerts, code scanning, the security page. No new
1823 infrastructure.
18243. **Deployments on `g1t.page`** (above): previews per pull request,
1825 production on merge, the reviewer agent checking the preview.
18264. **The large run, building 2 and 3.** About 20–30 issues on g1t itself,
1827 built by agents and landed through the queue, for the video: g1t built
1828 on g1t.
18295. **Polish for judges trying it in a minute:** a seeded demo workspace, the
