It has now become fashionable to dress oneself in the garb of science to sell dev environments ... for agents.

It has now become fashionable to claim much, and furnish little.

It has now become fashionable to fail to understand or state the core of your proposal in as few words as possible: instead of "genetic algorithm applied to the space of harnesses, parallelized by our infrastructure" we get "Three swaps. Same orchestrator. Same dashboard. The wiring is the thing."

We're cooked chat.

Touche. Fair. It's the simplest demo of LLM-proposed search over agent system prompts, conditioned on full execution traces to demo that islo.dev just makes the snapshot/fork/log loop cheap enough to run...
