Developer shares full trace of local AI agent code review with an 'armed fence' approval workflow

HankYeomans shares a sequence diagram of one review-and-bug-fix cycle on his local AI instance. The workflow centers on an 'armed fence': after task approval, jevscopearm dry-runs, records a pending approval to .jev-dev/pending-arm-approval., then consumes an operator /jev approve command and emits an armed receipt (JSON). The agent then edits within fenced paths, jevcheckpoint fires once per round, and a Reviewer model (gpt-6-astra/high) recaptures the snapshot, verifies the fence, reruns checks, and returns a bound review packet. Clean runs are marked reviewed; findings within budget trigger a correction prompt at the stop boundary followed by a fix and another checkpoint. The author admits the loop is still clunky with him in it for demos.
