Notes on building with Code from Spec — progress reports, lessons learned, roadblocks, and future directions.

• Telling the agent what changed — July 1, 2026 — The fix for anchoring: a cache, a hash comparison, and a one-word disposition per spec position. What worked, and the elegant hypothesis that didn't.
• Anchoring on old code — June 16, 2026 — When regenerating code from specs, should the agent see its previous output? On the tension between codebase stability and silent anchoring.
• Confinement — June 10, 2026 — Why Code from Spec's generation agents see only the spec chain — and why taking context away from an AI makes its output trustworthy.
• Context management by construction — June 8, 2026 — How Code from Spec gives AI agents exactly the context they need — no more, no less.
