M4.3's block, with new triggers and a way out. A VM out of reach at the check before a run, in a run (which ends there: the driver, a toolchain step and a requested step), or while preparing the workspace blocks every project on it; the item stays ready, waiting on no one. On the intake round it is tried again every tuning.build_vm.retry_s (300), and once it answers it must still answer settle_s (180) later; then the work a lost run left there is parked (pushed), the VM unblocked, and that said once. A changed host key, at the check or on a retry, blocks the VM too, until the operator's `vm ready`, which trusts the new key: `trust new host key` is retired, and the message says it's a key problem that may be an impersonation. Questions are answered while a VM is blocked, without it. Starting the agent with a VM down no longer fails. The walk breaks the VM's SSH, now or partway through a run, and checks that no model works on a VM that is down; loop.qnt models the VM going and coming back (unblocked_only_when_up). Together they found: a lost run's work set aside by the next item there; a question left behind a block; a lost VM swallowed while the toolchain step checked or recorded it; and a remark waiting to be answered that outlived its PR's merge. All fixed. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01J5Utyfzw7gF7UhjRDEtjTk
Nisse
Two self-hosted AI agents sharing a common library, named for the Nordic farm spirit that keeps the place running overnight and expects to be treated well in return.
| Package | Role |
|---|---|
nisse-core/ |
Shared library both agents sit on (Part L) |
nisse-dev/ |
Dev Agent — plans and implements software projects (Part D) |
nisse-ops/ |
Sysadmin Agent — operates infrastructure (Part O) |
One repository, three packages. The library does not exist as code yet: it is
extracted from nisse-dev once that agent works (build-order step 10), as a
package split within this tree.
Architecture
The system-level specification lives at
docs/Architecture.md. It covers the
shared library, both agents, the supporting services, the build order, and the
remaining open decisions.
