Run evidence
Failures with names
Failed tasks, parsed test results, reports and bounded log tails arrive as structured evidence.
Self-healing CI
A red check can become a reviewed fix.
When an eligible check fails, Hive can wake a scoped coding agent with the run, logs, diff and test evidence already attached. The candidate returns on your branch and the next gate decides whether it worked.
Autofix is opt-in per check. Infrastructure failures and timeouts do not spend an agent run.
Repair loop · live policy
The agent wakes only when code work can help.
A failed lint, test or build can materialize its fixer. A skipped check, dependency cascade or classified infrastructure failure cannot.

The repair loop
Failure evidence travels with the work.
No log-pasting ritual and no detached chat. The run, the agent and the verifying gate are one traceable chain.
- 01 · Detect
A declared check fails
Hive classifies what failed and materializes a fixer only when that step opted in and policy allows it.
- 02 · Diagnose
The evidence is already there
The agent reads the failing task, bounded logs, named tests, the branch diff and prior verified fixes directly.
- 03 · Repair
A candidate is produced
The agent edits in an isolated workspace. The wrapper owns scope, budgets, verification and git delivery.
- 04 · Prove
The branch gate runs again
The pushed candidate triggers a fresh run. That run—not the agent’s prose—is the merge gate.
Agent context
Give the model evidence, not a wall of text.
Hive compiles a bounded task brief from facts it already owns, then exposes narrow tools for the evidence the agent needs next.
Change evidence
The exact branch delta
The triggering SHA and diff keep the agent on the failure that actually happened.
Prior evidence
Verified fixes, not folklore
Similar prior outcomes are surfaced only when a later gate proved them green.
Narrow tools
Calls instead of copied pages
The agent can inspect the current run and selected checks through reviewed capabilities.
Policy
Budgets outside the prompt
Turn, token, scope and delivery rules are enforced by the wrapper the model cannot rewrite.
Verification
Evidence before delivery
A candidate must satisfy the lane’s configured verifier before the wrapper can ship it.
Control stays explicit
Self-healing does not mean self-authorizing.
The automation acts inside boundaries your pipeline and platform policy declare.
Opt-in
You choose which checks wake an agent.
A new step has no fixer by default. Runtime policy can suppress a misbehaving fixer without changing the pipeline.
Fail closed
The candidate still has to pass CI.
If the fixer fails, exceeds its bounds or cannot verify its work, the original failure stands.
Review
The normal branch workflow remains.
Hive pushes a candidate to the branch. Your required checks, review rules and merge policy stay authoritative.
