A week of verified loops
  
 2026-08-07 

This week I kept returning to the same way of working: build the smallest real loop, verify it, and widen the boundary only when the evidence holds. The main thread was robotics. I moved the SO-101 simulator through camera-guided pick and place, repeatable safety checks, staged learned policies, and the beginnings of an object-packing architecture. Around it, I built an initial test-mode store designed for administration through ChatGPT or Codex. I also booted a minimal Rust/RISC-V kernel, extended an AI gateway with verified image input, and fixed focused dependency issues. The projects were different, but the useful habit was the same: turn an idea into an observable system before making it bigger.
