KAHN agent-fleet observability — stratt-hq pilot readiness

​
The angle

KAHN shipped Phase 0–5 of agent-fleet observability on 2026-04-27. The dogfood floor is met against kahn-internal (3 agents, 44 runs, 5 audit checkpoints, M3.5 soak gate-met). The infrastructure is ready for its first external pilot. stratt-hq is the named candidate. The stratt-hq probe was scoped without owner engagement on 2026-04-26 (atlas/devarno/prompts/A2A-stratt-hq-kahn-onboarding- probe.md). It maps stratt-hq’s existing CI surface — Bun-based schema validators, Blake3 fingerprinting, dependency graph cycles — directly onto KAHN’s agent_transition + audit_checkpoint event shapes. The mapping table in that prompt:
stratt-hq featureKAHN agent-shape mapping
bun … cli validate <path>agent_run_start + tool_invocation
Schema validation pass/failaudit_checkpoint result: pass|fail
Blake3 fingerprint mismatchaudit_checkpoint result: fail, evidence: {expected, actual}
Dependency cycle detectionaudit_checkpoint result: fail, evidence: {cycle: [...]}
bun … cli ci <paths…> pipelineMulti-step run with tool_invocation per stage
The probe artifacts (gaps doc + synthetic fixture + emitter script) are landing-pad-ready. No engagement with the stratt-hq team needed to validate the contract.

The story

For the operator’s outbound: “We dogfooded our own audit-runner fleet against KAHN this week. Three agents, 44 runs, an audit checkpoint with real fail signal, soak gate-met against the dogfood tenant. The schema is settled, the SDK is pinned (stdlib-only, single-file vendor), the rollback levers are rehearsed. We’d like stratt-hq to be the first external producer.” The credibility chain:
  • Pre-v0.1 → dogfood-ready in one operator-paced session.
  • Realignment-floor gate-met evidence at kahn-hq/docs/decisions/2026-04-27-floor-met-kahn-internal.md.
  • The five-dimension floor’s two deferred dimensions (≥7 distinct UTC dates, ≥2 mixed-outcome checkpoints) pass passively in the next 7-14 days.
  • stratt-hq’s emit path is a ~50-line GHA workflow + the existing contracts/kahn_agent_emit.py vendor (zero non-stdlib deps).

​
Verticals this resonates with

  • Schema-validator SaaS — stratt-hq is one; cho.co is another. “See your validation pipeline as an agent fleet, not as opaque CI runs.”
  • Multi-stage pipeline tooling — anything with deterministic stages that emit pass/fail signal. KAHN’s audit-checkpoint event type was named for this shape.
  • Operator-paced solo-eng SaaS — the readiness narrative (“I shipped Phase 0–5 in one session via planner-paced sub- agent dispatch”) is the most replicable part of the credibility chain. KAHN demonstrated the pattern on itself.

​
Content trails

  • Vertical landing page: “Stop watching CI exit codes. Watch agent transitions.” (Schema-validator + multi-stage pipeline framing.)
  • Walkthrough video: the operator screencasts the SPA showing kahn-internal populated by the audit fleet. ~3 min.
  • Comparison content: “CI dashboards vs. agent-fleet dashboards — the unit of measurement is wrong.” (Existing agent-fleet.md “What’s CI-shaped” anchor table is the source material.)
  • Operator-narrative case study: “We shipped 35 PRs in one session. Here’s the planner cadence that made it possible.” (Sources: this delivery’s INDEX + the kahn-northstar-delivery- shape.md learning.)

​
Pre-requisites before outreach

The stratt-hq pilot bundle remains frozen-pending-realignment per docs/north-star/realignment-criteria.md. Two passive-observation windows close before outreach:
  • 2026-05-04 — M3.2 ≥7 distinct UTC dates of agent_run_end events (passively accumulating from the 2026-04-27 cron flip).
  • Indeterminate (likely 1-3 weeks) — M3.4 ≥2 mixed-outcome audit checkpoints. Today’s snapshot: 1 (audit:test-coverage). Natural producer drift on audit:dependency-drift or audit:north-star-citations is the most likely path.
When both windows close, the realignment floor is fully met and the stratt-hq bundle is thawable per realignment-criteria.md §“Thaw criteria — stratt-hq-pilot”.
