Patchery, the layer above Dependabot

Field notes

Patchery positions itself after dependency-update tools: it pins a repository, reproduces the failing test, attempts a call-site migration, and reruns the suite before opening a change. Its evidence package includes the failing and passing runs, touched files, and a read-only second-agent review. The site also separates REFUSED, WRONG, EXHAUSTED, and BLOCKED outcomes, making failure modes part of the product’s visible accounting rather than hiding them inside a single success rate.
