Watchdog

watchdog.py's WatchdogLoop closes the loop past your local working copy: detect a live failure, repair it with the exact evidence-based localization + agentic sampling the Repair-Loop uses, land the fix as a canary, and promote or roll back on a real health check — no local test suite required, since the canary's own health check is the pass/fail oracle.

• Detect — LogFailureDetector tails a log file for Python tracebacks, reuses repair_agent.extract_signals to parse them (no second parser to keep in sync), and dedupes by fingerprint so a steadily-repeating crash surfaces once, not once per poll.
• Repair — the traceback is localized and patched the same way a failing local test would be, then committed.
• Canary — LocalProcessCanaryDeployer runs the pre-patch and post-patch code as two real subprocesses on two real ports, splits real HTTP traffic between them through a small stdlib reverse proxy, and health-checks the canary directly (not through the proxy, so a bad canary at 10% traffic still fails its own check immediately).
• Promote / rollback — N consecutive healthy checks promote the canary (stable process torn down); any unhealthy check rolls back (canary torn down, the patch reverted and committed).

Bring-your-own infra

Both FailureDetector and DeployTarget are protocols with one real reference implementation each. Bring your own (a real error tracker, a real load balancer / Kubernetes) by implementing the same protocol — nothing else about WatchdogLoop changes. This is the boundary of "production infrastructure" forge draws deliberately: see Environment-Bootstrap and Design-Notes.
