Live Continuous 3-Run Proof

This page is the public evidence for the reopened roadmap claim: AgentXchain completed three back-to-back governed runs from a project-local VISION.md with no manual accept-turn, no manual gate approval, no HUMAN-ROADMAP edits mid-session, and at least one real-credential turn per run.

What It Is

• Category: live proof example
• Surface: agentxchain run --continuous
• Runtime shape: local_cli authoring roles + real api_proxy QA review
• Credentialed provider: Anthropic (claude-haiku-4-5-20251001)
• Source harness: examples/live-governed-proof/run-continuous-3run-proof.mjs

Workflow Or Proof Shape

The proof used a temp governed repo with a project-local VISION.md containing three distinct goals:

• capture alpha ledger evidence trail
• capture beta provenance dashboard slice
• capture gamma escalation recovery drill

Each governed run used the truthful mixed-runtime shape:

• pm and dev authored repo-local artifacts through local_cli
• qa ran through a real Anthropic-backed api_proxy runtime in review_only mode
• run --continuous derived the next intent from VISION.md, auto-triaged it via --triage-approval auto, and advanced through planning, implementation, and QA without operator input

run-agents.sh is now documented as the raw fallback path. run --continuous is the primary product surface for lights-out operation.

Exact Command

agentxchain run --continuous --vision .planning/VISION.md --max-runs 3 --poll-seconds 30 --triage-approval auto

Observed harness invocation:

set -a; source .env; set +a
node examples/live-governed-proof/run-continuous-3run-proof.mjs --json --output examples/live-governed-proof/evidence/continuous-3run-proof.latest.json

Per-Run Evidence

Turn counts below are derived from accepted .agentxchain/history.jsonl entries grouped by run_id, which is the truthful per-run count for this session.

Run	Vision goal	Trigger	Model used	Accepted turns	Spend	QA artifact

Every run carried the same provenance shape:

• trigger: "vision_scan"
• created_by: "continuous_loop"
• a distinct intake_intent_id

Git Log Evidence

git log --oneline from the proof repo shows run-derived commits for all three runs, and every run-derived commit includes the session trailer Continuous-Session: cont-0e280ba0.

Notes

• No blocker or escalation fired during the clean run.
• No manual gate approval was needed because the continuous loop executed with auto-approval enabled for gate handling.
• The project-local VISION.md remained unchanged throughout the session.
• A pre-proof harness hardening pass was required earlier on 2026-04-17; that exploratory run is not counted as the public proof. The evidence on this page is from the subsequent clean rerun above.

Run It

export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=...
node examples/live-governed-proof/run-continuous-3run-proof.mjs --json --output examples/live-governed-proof/evidence/continuous-3run-proof.latest.json

The harness creates a temp governed repo, runs the exact run --continuous command shown above, and prints the evidence as JSON. Use --output <path> to persist the evidence artifact to a checked-in file. Use --keep-temp when you want to inspect the proof repo's .agentxchain/ artifacts and git history afterward.

Key Takeaways

• The strongest marketing claim now has public evidence: one unattended continuous session completed three governed runs with real provider-backed QA review.
• run --continuous is the primary lights-out path; run-agents.sh is only the raw fallback.
• The proof leaves durable provenance in three places at once: continuous-session.json, run-history.jsonl / history.jsonl, and git commit trailers.
