Stage 5: Governed Agent

Stage 5 is described in the curriculum as completing an issue-to-patch workflow under explicit policy.

The current repository does not contain a stage/5-* branch or v5 tag in local refs or upstream refs. Because this book is generated from observable branch history, this page does not invent implementation chapters, motivations, failures, or architecture.

When the Stage 5 implementation history exists, this chapter should be rebuilt from:

  • the Stage 5 branch commit history;
  • commit diffs;
  • tests added or changed by each commit;
  • visible corrections and architectural decisions;
  • the stable v5 checkpoint.
