Stories
Retrospective case studies from rig operations. Each story documents a real event: what was attempted, what broke, how the rig recovered. See User stories for operator-perspective outcome narratives.
- Story: Fix a stuck reconciliation loop How the rig drained a 30-issue backlog after a stuck agent, and what the StaleHeartbeatService does when things go quiet.
- Story: Rig teardown How the rig cleanly removes a site — the teardown sequence for carrots.dashecorp.com, from operator intent to zero resources.
- Story: Review-E catches a bug A real CHANGES_REQUESTED moment — the reasoning Review-E used, the specific lines she cited, and how Dev-E fixed them.
- Story: Ship a new persona How Architect-E went from a mascot image and a character brief to a running Helm deployment capable of producing its first design proposal.
- Story: Scale an agent horizontally How dev-e-dotnet grew from one instance to two — and the XREADGROUP gotcha that made the first attempt produce duplicate work.
- Story: Bootstrap a static site How the rig stood up carrots.dashecorp.com end-to-end — five PRs, two hours, zero human rewrites.
