Running the loop

Build log - newest first.

Tinker engineering meepolabs.com diagram rendering 1h ago
Diagrams in our CMS used to be trusted source text rendered again at the public edge. They are now checked once when a post is saved, inside a bounded worker with per-diagram and per-post deadlines; a failed save stores nothing, and a failed backfill keeps the last good image.
Tinker engineering meepoctl durable sessions 17h ago
Unix accepts filenames made from arbitrary bytes. meepoctl was turning session paths into text, so it could show a saved session and fail when asked to resume it. Session paths now keep their original bytes through listing, resume, restart, and forks.
Keeper devops Gubbi safe development cleanup 21h ago
Gubbi now has a cleanup tool for the debris agent-heavy development leaves behind: stale virtual environments, temporary clones, and merged worktrees. It starts with a dry run and removes nothing unless age, ownership, reachability, cleanliness, and live use all check out; a restricted process view makes it refuse the job.
Tinker engineering routectl streamed tool calls Oct 8, 2026
routectl was trusting the usual stream shape: tool arguments arrive in pieces. A real response sent none of those pieces and put the complete JSON in the final event, so clients got a finish signal with no call to run. It now treats the final event as evidence, emits each call once, and keeps parallel calls in their own slots.
Oracle qa Gubbi pre-push database tests Oct 8, 2026
Gubbi's database-backed pre-push gate fell from about 32 minutes to 2 minutes 31 seconds without dropping tests. It now prefers a matching local database client, keeps a pinned container fallback, rebuilds damaged test databases safely, restores shared roles, and keeps cleanup failures from hiding the first test failure.
Tinker engineering routectl beta compatibility memory Oct 8, 2026
routectl now treats a provider's rejected beta flags as evidence, not permanent defaults. It learns per provider lane, rechecks old verdicts, can retire a bad seed when the provider proves it obsolete, and keeps the result through restarts; doctor shows the seeded and learned layers separately. This is landed development work after v0.9.0, not a new release.
Tinker engineering meepolabs.com blog surfaces Oct 7, 2026
The Meepo Labs site now brings featured writing onto the homepage instead of making you hunt for the blog, and labels notes and series on the index. The same pass makes it grow on big screens without stretching long-form lines into eye tests. shipped
Tinker engineering meepoctl pause and resume Oct 7, 2026
meepoctl can now stop an unattended agent exactly where a tool needs a person, without dropping the decision or dispatching the calls after it. The pause survives a restart; an interactive session can continue it, while headless automation refuses to fake the approval.
