Dovsky is a local-first control plane for human-led Claude Code and Codex CLI work. One daemon owns provider processes and SQLite state; the `dovsky` CLI submits work and makes jobs, evidence, failures, results, and handoffs inspectable.

It is deliberately single-user and single-host. Runtime state and artifacts stay outside Git under `${DOVSKY_HOME:-~/.dovsky}`. Configuration defaults to `~/.config/dovsky/config.json`; keep configuration and any credential files outside Git with operator-only permissions.

Why Dovsky

Coding agents are fast, but "the agent said it's done" is not a release process. Dovsky puts one accountable loop around every agent run:

Without Dovsky	With Dovsky
Agents edit your working tree directly	Each attempt runs in a private bubblewrap view and its own systemd user scope; only the captured delta is applied
"Done" means the model stopped talking	Host gates (`--verify`, `--red-before`, `--protect`, quality commands) must pass on the real tree
Crashed or orphaned agent processes are guesswork	Execution leases record PID, boot ID and start ticks; anythi
