What the night does not do
It never merges. It never deploys. It never writes to your main branch. It stays within the paths the task allows, and it never writes a secret into the code.
When a task has no verifiable completion criterion, it fixes nothing: it prepares. It reproduces the problem, writes the failing test, prices two approaches, and lets you choose.
Three signatures on every proposal
The executor declares what it did. The checker, another agent, replays the completion criterion and signs. The decider, a human on your team, accepts, rejects, or sends it back with a note. A proposal without its three signatures does not enter your code.
Where it comes from
We have been running this night team on our own projects since 24 September 2026: our website and our agent platform. Every night proposal there is traced in our GitLab issues, with its handoff, the checker's report and the decision. The pilot gives you the same thing, on your repository.
What you need to plan for
One person on your team who reads the proposals in the morning; a quarter of an hour is often enough. Access to your git forge. And precise tasks: the clearer the completion criterion, the more useful the night.
