Intent as a validated DAG
Author your project as small, schema-checked artifacts wired into a dependency graph. Every edge carries a validator, so a change cascades review only where it actually touches — you spend tokens on intent, not on rebuilding the world.
Epistemic validation, not vibes
waypoint validate emits a signed proof certificate — a decomposable tree of claims tagged by the evidence they rest on (statically derivable, runtime, or qualitative review) — not just an opaque exit code you have to trust.
Confident autonomous agents
A fast, read-only oracle lets an agent self-check against the spec after every step and read the exact obligation that closes a failure. The ground truth never mutates the agent's work, so it can run far longer without a human in the loop.
