Take it

Bitbaum is a platform for the new economy and for creation: building, engineering and researching. It's a community of builders, creators and researchers, and of the people who support them. We work as engineers in the loop: agents do much of the typing, and people own the judgement.

• Needs: Postgres (DATABASE_URL). The @bitbaum/* kits document their own keys.
• Shared pieces: the @bitbaum/* kits install from public npm or public GitHub, so you need no tokens or private registry.

Want to build it with us? Show us how you think

Copying code is free. What stays scarce once agents and robots write most of it is seeing the whole system. Pick one of these, in this repo, and open an issue or a pull request:

1. Find the second source of truth. Find a fact this code defines in two places. Show how the copies will drift, and say where the one copy should live.
2. Find the silent failure. Pick a promise this system makes. Find where it fails while every check stays green, and propose the check that would catch it.
3. Find where the human belongs. Point to a step where an agent acts alone but a person should decide, or the reverse, and say why.

A short, correct answer beats a long one, and so does an answer that admits what it doesn't know.
