tireless

Keeps several repositories moving without an operator driving each change by hand. It watches Gitea (and GitHub, for legacy repos) and does three things:

• discovers — surveys a repo and proposes issues worth opening;
• plans — decomposes an issue into an epic and child issues, each specified well enough for a model that cannot ask questions;
• implements — produces a branch and a pull request.

Those chain into a loop with exactly two human gates: a person decides what enters the system, and a person decides what merges. Discovery proposes but never admits its own proposals; nothing merges itself.

Two coding agents do the work, each spawned as the vendor's own binary:

• Claude Code — discovery, planning, and implementation of issues that need interpretation. Uses the operator's Claude subscription by default, or pay-as-you-go if an API key is supplied.
• OpenCode — implementation of issues that a tireless plan already specified, against the self-hosted helexa fleet. Never Anthropic; enforced at startup.

The rule of thumb: Claude Code gets judgement, OpenCode gets specification.

Full design, constraints and the staged implementation plan: doc/plan/design.md.

Status

Stage 0 (foundations) is built, deployed and verified.

Working: the domain model, routing, budgets, plan validation, the policy guards, configuration loading and validation, the four system prompts, and preflight. All three units run on bob, the dashboard is served at https://tireless.internal, and the deploy workflow is green end to end.

Nothing is polled or claimed yet — that is stage 1. The runner is up but has no job store to claim from.

Not built: Postgres persistence, the forge clients, the poll loop, and every agent executor. Stages 1–8 in §7 of the design document say what lands when.

tireless is its own first tracked repo — see design.md §10 for what that implies, including which parts of this repo are deliberately routed to the stronger lane.

Build

cargo test --workspace
cargo clippy --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings
cargo fmt --all

cd dashboard && npm ci && npm run lint && npm run build

Run locally

cargo run -p tireless-api -- --config ./config.toml
cargo run -p tireless-worker -- --config ./config.toml poll
cargo run -p tireless-worker -- --config ./config.toml run

cd dashboard && npm run dev     # proxies /v1 to 127.0.0.1:23296

tireless preflight verifies configuration and credentials without starting a service: it reports which billing mode a Claude Code run would use and asserts the OpenCode lane is not pointed at Anthropic.

Deploy

CI-driven via Gitea Actions on merge to main (architecture/deployment-gitea-actions.md). One-time host provisioning — including the interactive Claude Code login and the Gitea bot account — is script/infra-setup.sh.

Host	bob.hanzalova.internal (binaries, units, job trees)
API port	23296 (registered in architecture/port-allocations.md), bound 0.0.0.0, mesh-only
Ingress	nginx on the hanzalova proxy — not on bob
Dashboard	https://tireless.internal (mesh only), served from the proxy
Database	magrathea.kosherinata.internal:5432, mTLS

Conventions

Follows lair/architecture; generic.md is the baseline. Three deliberate deviations:

• tireless-agent crate beyond the standard entities/core/data split. Process orchestration is not data access, and it is shared by the runner and the CLI. (§1)
• MemoryDenyWriteExecute=false on tireless-runner. Both agents are Node programs and V8's JIT needs write-then-execute pages. The API and poller keep the setting. (§8)
• AGENTS.md is a symlink to CLAUDE.md. Both agents look for their own filename and the instructions are identical; a symlink is the only version of this that cannot drift.
