git-with-intent Vitest 4 Migration Pain and IRSB Governance with 104 Moloch Tests

Thu, 12 Feb 2026 10:00:00 -0600

Eighteen commits across three repos. git-with-intent fought through a Vitest 4 migration that broke CI seven different ways. IRSB shipped v1.4.0 with governance contracts and a 104-test Moloch DAO suite. Perception got a dashboard fix.

git-with-intent: Vitest 4 Migration

The v0.8.0 prep for git-with-intent included upgrading from Vitest 3.x to Vitest 4. The test suite passed locally. CI failed. Then it failed six more times in six different ways.

Mock Pattern Changes

Vitest 4 changed how vi.mock() interacts with module resolution. In Vitest 3, mock declarations were hoisted above imports automatically. Vitest 4 introduced vi.hoisted() as an explicit mechanism and stopped auto-hoisting in several edge cases.

IRSB Security Audit Fixes, git-with-intent v0.6.0, and GitHub Profile Overhaul

Thu, 29 Jan 2026 10:00:00 -0600

Forty commits across five repos. The biggest day of January by commit count, and most of it was security work that made the IRSB protocol auditable.

IRSB Security Fixes (16 Commits)

Yesterday built the audit scaffold. Today started closing the findings.

HIGH Severity Fixes

SEC-001: Reentrancy in bounty settlement. The settleBounty function transferred tokens before updating the bounty status. Classic reentrancy vector — a malicious resolver contract could re-enter settleBounty during the token transfer callback and claim the bounty twice.

Nixtla BSL License Pivot

Tue, 06 Jan 2026 10:00:00 -0600

Two commits. One governance decision. The thinnest day of the month so far.

Why BSL 1.1

Nixtla’s baseline lab has been MIT-licensed since inception. MIT is the default choice for developer tools — maximum adoption, zero friction, everyone can use it however they want.

The problem with MIT for a commercial product: competitors can take your code, wrap a paid service around it, and sell it back to the same market you’re trying to serve. You built it. They profit from it. Your only competitive advantage is moving faster, which is not a sustainable moat when someone with a bigger team can fork and iterate.

GWI RBAC Governance and Hustle CI Stabilization

Fri, 26 Dec 2025 10:00:00 -0600

December 26th. Three commits on git-with-intent, three on hustle. The GWI work was about governance. The hustle work was about not breaking things.

git-with-intent: RBAC and Governance

The RBAC system adds the multi-tenant access layer that git-with-intent needed before any real organization could use it. Three commits covering the full governance surface.

Tenant Management

Each tenant gets an isolated namespace with its own configuration, agent definitions, and run history.

Tenant creation provisions the namespace, sets default quotas, and generates an API key scoped to that tenant. Tenant deletion is soft — the namespace gets marked inactive, data is retained for the audit retention period, and the API key is revoked immediately.

Beads Rollout: 22 Repos, One Governance Pattern

Fri, 19 Dec 2025 10:00:00 -0600

Seventy-six commits. Twenty-two repos. One day. And most of it was the same two commits repeated eleven times.

December 19th was a governance rollout day. The beads task tracking system had been running in three repos for a week. It was time to deploy it everywhere.

The Beads Pattern

Beads (bd) is the post-compaction recovery system for AI-assisted development. When Claude Code compacts a long conversation, it loses context about what you were working on. Beads persists task state in git so you can recover after compaction.
