Function cockpit
Engineering
Agents build, test and document. Engineers own architecture and release.
Phase: Phase 3 — Functional orchestration
Run the intent-to-release graph as a governed system: decomposition, code generation, testing, documentation, vulnerability detection and deployment preparation are agent work; product intent, architecture and production release remain human.
