      <title>Only the human says what's done</title>

      <description><![CDATA[The first Genesis interview. A crash wiped the philosophy behind CandyFactory's laws, so the memory system's first job was to interview Anta and recover it — starting with the founding law: completion is the human's word, never the machine's. Conducted in English; a Spanish translation follows each turn.]]></description>

      <link>https://candyfactory.ai/blog/a-follow-costs-nothing</link>
      <description><![CDATA[A developer started following the project this week. So we read his npm package, found the flagship feature broken under twenty-five green tests, and sent back a fix — failing tests first, in his own language. A field note on giving a stranger's code the same discipline we give our own.]]></description>

      <title>Failure is how the machines talk</title>
      <link>https://candyfactory.ai/blog/failure-is-how-the-machines-talk</link>
      <description><![CDATA[We carved a law into the constitution this week: every system in the factory must fail in the same typed, self-describing vocabulary. Not a cleanup chore — an interop substrate. Field notes on why a clean crash is the richest thing a program ever says.]]></description>

      <title>We ratified the path the codebase had been walking on its own</title>
      <link>https://candyfactory.ai/blog/the-lexicon-graduates</link>
      <description><![CDATA[A memory layer for the agents that run this workshop is going public. The night that ratified it spent more time reading the code we'd already written than arguing about what to write next.]]></description>
