Systemic Risk
Repository Drift
The structural divergence between an AI agent's internal representation of a codebase and the actual deterministic state of the repository.
Operational Symptoms
- • Using deprecated APIs
- • Ignoring new abstractions
- • Reinventing existing utilities
Economic Impact
Technical debt multiplier across the codebase.
Governance Collapse
Breaks CI/CD and institutional policy.
How Engineering Teams Describe This
"Claude starts patching its own patches."
"It rewrote my entire architecture without asking."
"Project scope drift."

Operational FAQ
Why does AI ignore my existing architecture?
Without Repository Drift Prevention, probabilistic models lack the deterministic grounding to adhere to the repository's current state.
