Same bytes, wrong order
Inco's Splash engine ships a package reader and no writer, so it only serves the models they publish. I wrote the writer to run an uncensored Qwen3.8-27B, proved it byte-identical to theirs, and then spent hours on a layout bug that passed every check I had.

alpha
IAM policy rightsizing agent with AI-powered risk signals and instant rollback.
→ [02]2026
chat-harvest
Local-first archive for AI chat traces across agents, designed as a substrate for DSPy/GEPA-style optimization loops.
→ [03]2026
chorus-ai
Frontend-only LLM ensemble interface with bring-your-own OpenRouter/API keys and client-side multi-model workflows.
→ [04]2026
extract-lessons-book
Ebook/document normalizer with optional OCR and LLM-generated advice + flowcharts. It also became a practical OCR evaluation project for me: for most books, plain PDF text extraction worked better than heavy OCR, so GLM OCR ended up as a fallback reserved for noisy pages, scans, or extraction failures.

MCP server for hashline-anchored safe file read/edit workflows inspired by this archived write-up: https://web.archive.org/web/20260412162933/https://blog.can.ac/2026/02/12/the-harness-problem/
