Forms 3-5 hypotheses, tests each with causal queries, prunes dead ends, branches deeper on strong evidence (max depth: 4). - Every mutation requires human approval. Full audit trail of what the agent thought, what it queried, and why. - Pulls context from your runbooks, postmortems, and architecture docs (Confluence, Notion, Google
