It&apos;s the orchestration layer. Here is what failed in our own experiments, in the order it failed, and how brat&apos;s design responds to each one.</description><pubDate>Tue, 12 May 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Designing crash-safe state for ephemeral agent processes</title><link>https://brat.neullabs.com/blog/crash-safe-state-for-ephemeral-agent-processes/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://brat.neullabs.com/blog/crash-safe-state-for-ephemeral-agent-processes/</guid><description>AI coding agents are processes that crash a lot — they hit rate limits, time out, get killed by their parent, or just decide to exit. If you treat their state as durable, you lose it. Here is how brat&apos;s append-only WAL design handles it.</description><pubDate>Mon, 04 May 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Why a thin CLI beats SaaS for agent orchestration</title><link>https://brat.neullabs.com/blog/why-a-thin-cli-beats-saas-for-agent-orchestration/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://brat.neullabs.com/blog/why-a-thin-cli-beats-saas-for-agent-orchestration/</guid><description>Multi-agent harnesses are heading toward hosted control planes by default. We picked the other path: a Rust CLI you install and forget. Here is the design reasoning, including the parts that are genuinely uncomfortable.</description><pubDate>Tue, 28 Apr 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Mayor, Witness, Refinery, Deacon — the six-role vocabulary</title><link>https://brat.neullabs.com/blog/the-six-role-vocabulary-mayor-witness-refinery-deacon/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://brat.neullabs.com/blog/the-six-role-vocabulary-mayor-witness-refinery-deacon/</guid><description>brat names its orchestration roles after a small-town transport metaphor. It&apos;s a bit weird on first contact and very useful by the third week. Here is what each role does, why it exists, and what it explicitly does not do.</description><pubDate>Sat, 18 Apr 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
