Driftwatch launches to prevent AI code agents from breaking CI discipline

Driftwatch is a new product designed to prevent AI code generation tools, like Cursor, from silently undermining continuous integration (CI) processes. The tool works by enforcing rules defined in a PR's scope, ensuring that AI agents do not skip or weaken tests, alter critical code without clear intent, or introduce dependencies without explanation. Driftwatch operates as a GitHub Action, running checks directly within a user's CI environment without sending data externally. AI

IMPACT Aims to improve reliability of AI-generated code in development workflows.
