AI Writes Your Code. Who Watches for Drift?

The problem AI coding tools are incredible — until they quietly drift off course. You're using Cursor, Copilot, or Claude Code. The code looks fine. Tests pass. But over a few commits, subtle shifts accumulate: more files touched per commit than usual, dependency trees growing unexpectedly, CI times creeping up. By the time you notice, the damage has compounded across dozens of commits. What Evolution Engine does Evolution Engine is a local-first CLI that monitors your SDLC signals and flags statistical anomalies: Git patterns — file dispersion, change locality, co-change novelty CI pipelines — duration trends, failure patterns Dependencies — count changes, depth shifts Deployments — release cadence, prerelease patterns Testing — failure rates, skip rates, suite duration Coverage — line and branch rate changes When a metric deviates significantly from your project's baseline, EE raises an advisory — not a bug report, a drift alarm . No AI APIs required This was a deliberate design choi
