`Statewright`: state-machine guardrails for coding agents

Instead of buying reliability with bigger models and longer prompts, it shrinks the search space per step. Worth watching if you want cheaper agents with stricter execution control.

[ KEY POINTS ]
  1. Each state limits tools, iteration count, and valid transitions, so planning, editing, and testing stay physically separated.
  2. The claimed win is stronger behavior from 13B-20B class models by tightening working context instead of expanding raw context.
  3. The Rust core is deterministic and non-LLM; agent integrations sit on top via MCP hooks for tools like Claude Code.
  4. Useful as an orchestration pattern for SWE tasks, but there are no hard benchmark tables or cost numbers here yet.
