●●●BangerSolve My ProblemShip It

Fork from failed agent runs and prove fixes before shipping—LangSmith doesn't do this.

Strengths
  • •Fork-and-replay workflow from exact failure steps is genuinely novel for agent debugging
  • •CI/CD eval gates that block bad agent deploys before they reach production
  • •Single decorator captures everything—works with any LLM or framework without vendor lock-in
Weaknesses
  • •Agent observability space is getting crowded with LangSmith, Arize, and Helicone
  • •Unclear how multi-agent causal graphs handle complex coordination failure modes

Post Description

Retrace records your AI agents runs so you can replay them step by step, fork from any point to a fix, and share the result as a link

Gait – because "what did the AI agent do?" shouldn't require guesswork

Turns every agent run into a verifiable artifact you can inspect offline, replay deterministically, and promote into a CI gate with one command. The combo of signed packs (Ed25519 + SHA-256), structural pack diffs, and a 'regress bootstrap' that produces JUnit fixtures is a pragmatic approach to taming tool-call side effects without replacing your agents. The repo ships demos, docs, and install scripts so this feels like a usable infra tool rather than a paper design.
