AI OS developer formalizes agent launch configurations with stacks.toml

The developer of Vodou, a local-first AI operating system, identified that their system launched in multiple ways, each with a different set of processes and context injected into prompts. To address this, they created a `stacks.toml` file to formally define each launch configuration, specifying the processes, optional components, and context lanes used. This system allows for better observability, distinguishing between design choices and bugs, and ensures that the defined configurations accurately reflect the actual codebase. AI
