Scope authority
The owner controls what the mission may change, what is out of scope, and what acceptance means.
- Files in scope
- Acceptance criteria
- Rollback expectations
Cody turns business intent into scoped missions, reviewed code, acceptance evidence, and deployment-ready releases. The build loop stays visible, interruptible, and owned.
Cody should not feel like an opaque chat that happens to write code. It should feel like a controlled delivery system with an explicit operating state.
Cody converts intent into a visible mission with files, boundaries, acceptance criteria, dependencies, and rollback expectations.
The system separates execution speed from decision authority through visible checkpoints.
The owner controls what the mission may change, what is out of scope, and what acceptance means.
Builds, tests, reviews, and known limitations are visible before the mission can be accepted.
Deployment follows an explicit environment policy rather than an agent silently promoting its own work.
Cody's value is not only generated code. It is the structured evidence and operating context that let people review, maintain, and extend the result.
Reviewable code, focused commits, and a clear changed surface.
Builds, tests, screenshots, route checks, and known limitations tied to the mission.
Deployment, rollback, configuration, and operational context for the next owner.
Decisions, constraints, and follow-up work remain visible instead of disappearing inside chat history.
Cody structures the build loop around missions, acceptance criteria, human review, and deployment evidence so software delivery stays visible instead of disappearing inside an agent chat.
