The neutral meter for AI agent work: neither side keeps the count.
Of 241 merged agent pull requests that claimed passing tests, 30 had a failed check.

The number
241 merged pull requests by AI coding agents said tests or CI pass; 30 had a failed check at the head commit (docs/backtest.json, counted by scripts/backtest.py).
The second number: 17.8% of first such pull requests, 147 of 826 repositories (docs/BENCH.md). A failed check is GitHub's record, not a judgment of why it failed.
One comment
- A maintainer comments on an issue:
/knos fund 20 checks: test. The terms are hashed into the order. - Someone opens a pull request and she merges it. Had
testfailed at that commit, the merge would pay nothing. - GitHub signs the workflow run, a Solana program checks that signature, and the author is paid in test USDC.
Two ledgers
- Buyer and supplier each keep their own ledger of the signed evaluations.
- Each runs
knos meter reconcileon its own copy and rebuilds the same statement. - A line is agreed, disputed, duplicate or insufficient evidence, and only an agreed line is billed (docs/METER.md).

knos-oidc, the verifier |
FkwZdsYCmzicJMtHLTkPK76bYNVG4WNwkWJBiVWNtF3W |
runs 2.0 until its upgrade proposal has executed; 2.1 was proposed through the multisig and runs at this address only once that proposal has executed (the live state is in web/upgrades.json); the 0.3.14 rehearsal ran it at a staging address of its own (docs/CAPABILITIES.md) |
knos-pay, the escrow |
5y7iWJ1VAMJjnnWbbdo2a2PsWJEwTExSNpzrvQSEnS8k |
runs 2.0 until its upgrade proposal has executed; 2.1 was proposed through the multisig and runs at this address only once that proposal has executed (the live state is in web/upgrades.json); the 0.3.14 rehearsal ran it at a staging address of its own (docs/CAPABILITIES.md) |
knos-meter, the count |
FUMKkcE95x2kZUj1zZTCbgcYBmJ3WXPHL8pyA8J6anX |
runs 1.0 until its upgrade proposal has executed; 1.1 was proposed through the multisig and runs at this address only once that proposal has executed (the live state is in web/upgrades.json); the 0.3.14 rehearsal ran it at a staging address of its own (docs/CAPABILITIES.md) |
knos-passkey, a wallet from a passkey |
FQPX9i5kQxLYKZyyPgM2fVK9am3w1LSk1Cuoer1sSY85 |
runs 1.0 until its upgrade proposal has executed; 1.1 was proposed through the multisig and runs at this address only once that proposal has executed (the live state is in web/upgrades.json); the 0.3.14 rehearsal ran it at a staging address of its own (docs/CAPABILITIES.md) |
This page names no time for an upgrade, so that it is true before and after one. Whether a proposal is pending, has
executed or was withdrawn is read from the chain by knos status, the site's banner and the site's
upgrade record (web/upgrades.json is the
committed copy). The first deployment (programs) has no upgrade authority and stays as a record; nothing
new is funded there.
Reproduced by someone else: none recorded yet. Exercised on devnet: none recorded yet. Deployed on devnet: verify_github, verify_gitlab, key_guardian, fund_by_comment, fund_from_wallet, pay_on_merge, hold_and_bind, refund, pause, meter_single, passkey_payee_wallet, upgrade_gate. Everything else is tested locally, implemented or not built: the table with the evidence has one row for each capability, from docs/capabilities.json. Deployed and exercised are counted only at the public program ids; what the 0.3.14 rehearsal ran at staging addresses of its own is in the note of each capability it ran, with its transaction.
MIT, all of it. Built by drexthealpha. Its memory engine is Sibyl.
