25. Agent Self-Repair — kill a service, watch it come back
We kill llama-server. Pulse detects. Halo repairs. Echo announces. 10 seconds. No human touched the keyboard.
26. Code Repair — push broken code, watch Sentinel fix it
Bad commit pushed to main. Sentinel catches the syntax error, generates a fix with the LLM, opens a PR, reviews it, merges it. Bounty runs the tests. Echo announces. Autonomous.
Voice narration will be added to every tutorial once the architect’s voice model is trained via Nexus. Two voice options planned — the architect’s voice and a secondary narrator.
No gatekeeping. No secrets. Everything shown.
Designed and built by the architect.
