title: "hotato: local call forensics and regression guards for AI agents"
abstract: >-
  Find what broke in your agent calls. Pin it and CI stays red until you fix it.
  Trace, evaluate, test, and gate any AI agent on your machine, with nothing
  leaving it. Four planes over one install: observe (traces, tokens, cost, and
  latency from your OpenTelemetry spans), evaluate (deterministic assertions
  plus a separated local-judge lane), test (simulation and a turn-taking stress
  suite), and gate (content-addressed CI contracts). Turn-timing and say-do are
  scored across five dimensions (outcome, policy, conversation, speech,
  reliability) with the evidence behind every result. Self-hosted and offline
  by default; deterministic checks stay separate from the model-judged rubric
  lane; no blended score. Freeze any failing run into a CI-gating regression.
