The page says the v0.1 specification is complete, but implementation is starting and nothing is usable yet.

Field notes

The proposed workflow begins with typed goals, plain-language plans, permitted calls, and checks or examples. A language model drafts an intermediate representation, while a separate validator is meant to decide whether it passes; the model is not supposed to reach files, the network, or the clock. The page says the v0.1 specification is complete, but implementation is only starting and nothing is usable yet.
