"Mullet-based Log Processing": determinism in the front, AI in the back

aronchick coins a self-described "very stupid phrase": "Mullet-based Log Processing: Determinism in the front, AI in the back." The quoted Expanso × TypeSafe Jev demo thread illustrates it: a log line reading "config reload requested by unknown actor" would be archived under severity-only routing, but a context-aware pipeline routes it to NOTIFY—regular triage stays deterministic while AI handles the context-dependent tail.
