What it solves

This project provides a self-contained WSL2 environment (appliance) for running the Strata SCTL (Strata Control / Trunk Loop) live cycle harness. It enables a "disposable-worker" model for software development cycles, where AI models (specifically Codex and DeepSeek) act as workers to handle tasks from a Director Entry through to promotion and cycle exit.

How it works

The system is distributed as a WSL2 distro tarball that users import into Windows. It uses a "bridge" to connect to DeepSeek and a kernel (SCTL) that manages the workflow. The entire process is driven by the strata-cycle command, which executes a sequence of roles: Director Entry $\rightarrow$ Class A commit $\rightarrow$ coordinator dispatch $\rightarrow$ author session $\rightarrow$ reviewer session $\rightarrow$ Class B promotion.

Who it’s for

Developers and operators who want to implement an automated, model-backed development cycle using a disposable-worker architecture within a Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL2) environment.

Highlights

• Disposable-Worker Model: Uses AI models to automate the development lifecycle.
• WSL2 Appliance: Distributed as a pre-configured distro for easy deployment on both ARM64 and AMD64 Windows architectures.
• Integrated Bridge: Includes a dedicated bridge for DeepSeek responses.
• Zero-Contact Harness: Capable of running full cycles without modifying the codebase git operations.
