- 20 unit/integration tests covering normalize_repo_name, scan_file_for_deps, detect_cycles, and full repo scan. - Fix detect_cycles self-loop returning duplicate node ([A,A] → [A]). - Integration test validates timmy-config cross-repo detection. Ref: #93 – provides test coverage to enable confident maintenance of cross-repo dependency graph capability.
Compounding Intelligence
Turn 1B+ daily tokens into durable, compounding fleet intelligence.
The Problem
20,991 sessions on disk. Each one starts at zero. Every agent rediscover the same HTTP 405 is a branch protection issue. The intelligence from a million tokens of work evaporates when the session ends.
The Solution
Three pipelines that form a compounding loop:
SESSION ENDS → HARVESTER → KNOWLEDGE STORE → BOOTSTRAPPER → NEW SESSION STARTS SMARTER
↓
MEASURER → Prove it's working
Architecture
Pipeline 1: Harvester
Reads finished session transcripts. Extracts durable knowledge: facts, pitfalls, patterns, tool quirks. Stores in knowledge/.
Pipeline 2: Bootstrap
Before a session starts, queries knowledge store for relevant facts. Assembles compact 2k-token context. Injects into session so it starts with full situational awareness.
Pipeline 3: Measure
Tracks whether compounding is happening. Knowledge velocity, error reduction, hit rate, task completion. Daily report proves the loop works.

The 100x Path
Month 1: 15,000 facts, sessions 20% faster
Month 2: 45,000 facts, sessions 40% faster, first-try success up 30%
Month 3: 90,000 facts, fleet measurably smarter per token
Each new session is better than the last. The intelligence compounds.
