Collaborator

Closes #983

Parent

  • #982 — Session Crystallization & Operational Playbook

Background

Commit 584eeb679e88 (Operation Darling Purge) deleted self_coding/self_modify/loop.py. This was Timmy's ability to: create branches, generate edits, run tests, commit on success, revert on failure.

Objective

Restore self-modification capability using a modern execution engine.

Scope

  • Evaluate execution engines: Goose v1.20.1 (primary, free, local) or mini-swe-agent v2 (100-line reference)
  • Implement branch→edit→test→commit/revert loop
  • Integrate with Gitea for PR creation (see #911)
  • Guard with test suite: no commit unless pytest tests/ -x -q passes

Key Design Notes

  • This is critical for Timmy's autonomy — without it, code changes require human intervention
  • Must respect constraint: no direct pushes to main, all changes via PR
  • Goose is brew install goose — already in the sovereign tech stack
  • #905 — Clone karpathy/autoresearch, run baseline (similar self-improvement pattern)
  • #906 — Refactor to SystemExperiment class
  • #911 — Wire Gitea API for PR creation
