open-web
a workshop for code that AI agents maintain. the problem is familiar: an agent rewrites the file, the comment above it quietly becomes a lie, and nobody — human or agent — rereads it. so the rules here live where a checker can enforce them: in structure and named vocabulary, not in prose.
negentropy
keep entropy down: a grammar-first structural checker enforcing an eleven-law constitution — single-word names, shallow blocks and paths, denied comments, granted syntax, and a vocabulary that never freezes.
read the checkerrunseal
keep flows explicit: declared resources, built-in forge tools, and repo-authored wrappers for flows like guard, land, and release — all inside one small explicit profile.
open the toolbeltsidecar
keep local runtimes named: one manifest per project — stamped process identity, a chosen free port handed to each target, one local broker per namespace, and a live inspect bridge.
meet the managershield
keep faults named: a domain declares its failure vocabulary once, native throw keeps its shape to the boundary, and every handler is typed and exhaustive — no Result monad, no runtime deps.

sidecarwhen one dev server becomes three cooperating processes.
this site practices what it preaches: its source is checked by negentropy, its changes land through runseal wrappers, and its dev server rents its port from sidecar.
constitution
the eleven laws every repo in this workshop answers to, why each one exists, and the versioning promise that makes a rule change cost a release.

the living dictionary: every name declared across the three tools and this site, recounted on every site build — and written verdicts for the words that were fought over.
