First public release.
What it does: When your primary AI coding tool goes down, codependent detects the outage and gets you working again on the next available option — automatically.
Tier chain (default):
- Tier 0 — Claude Code
- Tier 1 — Codex
- Tier 2a — Aider + OpenAI
- Tier 2b — Aider + Google
- Tier 3 — Aider + Ollama (fully offline)
Highlights:
- Outage detection with degraded-state backoff
- Hot-reload config (SIGHUP)
- Shared guardrails generated into every configured tool
- Multi-channel notifications (configurable comma-separated list)
- History CLI with date filtering and uptime summary
- SQLite metrics with CSV fallback
Install (preview, before Homebrew tap is live):
git clone https://github.com/arclighteng/codependent
cd codependent
./fallback.sh --test
Homebrew (coming):
brew tap arclighteng/codependent
brew install codependent
