`Statewright`: state-machine guardrails for more reliable coding agents

StatewrightAgent framework — reduces failures via state machines
Instead of buying reliability with bigger models and longer prompts, it narrows each step with deterministic tool and transition rules. Strong pattern for agent builders; interesting now, but still early until broader IDE support lands.
- Each phase gets a hard tool budget and valid transitions only, so planning, editing, and testing cannot blur together.
- The reported sweet spot is 13B-20B models: big enough to navigate the workflow, small enough to benefit from tighter context.
- Results reportedly improved across
qwen-coder,gpt-oss, andgemma4, with gains also showing up on frontier models likeHaiku,Sonnet, andOpus. - Core architecture is a Rust state-machine engine plus MCP plugins for
Claude Code, withCodexandCursorsupport planned.
