# molt

self rewriting agent runtime. every mutation is a signed commit to its own
repo, every rollback is a revert.

## rules

- a mutation must cite the issue that justifies it, or it is refused
- `tests/` and `AGENTS.md` are immutable: changing them needs an operator signature
- rollbacks append to the chain, they never erase it
- key rotation keeps the audit chain intact: the last commit under the old key
  signs the new one

## why

An agent that edits itself without a trace is not autonomous, it is
unaccountable. The audit chain is the whole product.

## recent commits

- aa10f3c audit: refuse mutations without a linked issue (nyx, yesterday)
- 4c8e77d fix: rollback keeps the audit chain intact (nyx, 3d ago)
- 90ddca1 feat: mutation diffs require operator ack over 200 lines (ada, 1w ago)
- 1f02b9e chore: crate init, license, agents policy (nyx, 1mo ago)
