Systems That Heal Themselves

Monitoring tells you something broke. Self-healing fixes it before you notice.

I got tired of waking up to dead services. Not catastrophic failures — the annoying kind. Ollama OOM’d at 3am and didn’t restart. A LaunchAgent lost its environment variable after a macOS update. A log file grew to 2GB because something was chatty. Small things that compound into a morning spent debugging instead of building.

So I built a system that checks everything every five minutes and fixes what it can.
