# 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.
