Counts cover 20–26 Apr 2026 (UTC) across the project's tracked repositories. Pull request figures count only pull requests opened during these dates; merged, closed and reviewed mean that also happened within them, so one can count in more than one category. They count pull requests of any size, including many prepared by AI coding agents and some fully automated ones. Reviewed means a submitted review by someone other than the author, not approval.

This was the week Synedrix OS got its own specification. Its first documents set out the core architecture, a shared vocabulary and how the parts are meant to work together, alongside a first example of how an agent is defined. The self-hosted reference stack, meanwhile, gained backups, health checks, log collection and its first monitoring dashboards. Written retrospectively from the project's history.

What we worked on

  • Platform specification. We started the Synedrix OS specification, with its core architecture, vocabulary and interoperability documents, and extended the vocabulary for how agents reach their tools.
  • Agents and runtime. We wrote a first example agent definition: a policy guard for operations.
  • Reference stack. The self-hosted stack gained a backup policy with backup and restore scripts, health checks and resource limits, log collection and its first monitoring dashboards.
  • Content. We set out a content strategy and style guides for the blog.

20-Apr-2026

  • Platform specification. We started the Synedrix OS specification with its core architecture, vocabulary and interoperability documents.
  • Reference stack. We wrote a backup policy for the self-hosted stack, with scripts to back it up and restore it by hand.

22-Apr-2026

  • Reference stack. Services gained health checks, resource limits and deployment profiles, and the stack gained log collection and its first monitoring dashboards.
  • Agents and runtime. We wrote a first example agent definition: a policy guard for operations.
  • Platform specification. More canonical documents joined the specification.

24-Apr-2026

  • Content. We set out a content strategy and style guides for the blog.
  • Platform specification. The vocabulary for how agents reach their tools gained policies specific to each domain.

Still in progress

  • The canonical documents of the specification are being drafted.
  • The self-hosted stack's configuration continues to be hardened.

Looking ahead

Next we turn to filling out the specification, document by document. It stays on paper for now, ahead of anything being built on it.
