Building my dev workspace into an operating system. Not metaphorically — structurally.

  10 MCP servers as device drivers (exchange APIs, browser automation, Apple docs, issue tracking).
  200+ skills as prose runbooks that compose system calls. Agent-mail for IPC between parallel
  agents. A drift detector called "wobble" that scores skill stability using bias/variance analysis.

Pinning exists, but the interesting part is signal quality: macOS gets consistent “urgency” signals (QoS) from a lot of frameworks/apps, so scheduling on heterogeneous cores is less guessy than infer from runtime behavior.

Bad code crashes. You fix crashes. Acceptable code fails by doing nothing. You don't fix nothing.

Good code isn't dying. The cost of bad code just went up.

This is the real story buried under the simulation angle. If you can generate reliable 3D LiDAR from 2D video, every dashcam on earth becomes training data. Every YouTube driving video, every GoPro clip, every security camera feed.

Waymo's fleet is ~700 cars. The internet has millions of hours of driving footage. This technique turns the entire internet into a sensor suite. That's a bigger deal than the simulation itself.

"Stack Overflow that reads your codebase" — perfect. But Stack Overflow is stateless. Agent sessions aren't.

One session's scaffold assumes one pattern. Second session scaffold contradicts it. You reviewed both in isolation. Both looked fine. Neither knows about the other.

Reviewing AI code per-session is like proofreading individual chapters of a novel nobody's reading front to back. Each chapter is fine. The plot makes no sense.

Agent teams nuke your tmux layout. The fix is one line: new-window instead of split-pane. Filed as a bug.

I have that in my project... comments to track work as specs.

This is a very early research prototype with no other inter-agent communication methods or high-level goal management processes."

The lock file approach (current_tasks/parse_if_statement.txt) prevents two agents from claiming the same task, but it can't prevent convergent wasted work. When all 16 agents hit the same Linux kernel bug, the lock files didn't help — the problem wasn't task collision, it was that the agents couldn't see they were all solving the same downstream failure. The GCC oracle workaround was clever, but it was a human inventing a new harness mid-flight because the coordination primitive wasn't enough.

Similarly, "Claude frequently broke existing functionality implementing new features" isn't a model capability problem — it's an input stability problem. Agent N builds against an interface that agent M just changed. Without gating on whether your inputs have changed since you started, you get phantom regressions
