Post Description

Hi all, we want to give the same harness that enables Codex devs to be 10x to everyone. Spinal does the usual code review (Slop detection, duplicate code, architectural bloat etc). It writes dynamic tests based on user-behavior analysing logs, metrics, historic incidents etc and runs it against the PR.
