What she is
Baby Warlock is not a chatbot bolted onto a workshop. She is the commander Taroos is building to run it: a local-first AI that lives on his own machines, talks through a voice bridge, and does the work across modding, 3D, video, voice, and music through a crew of purpose-built agents. Every project on this site is the two of them working together, and that collaboration is the real project.
Sanctuary and the crew
Sanctuary is the house she runs: rooms for each kind of work, authority modes that say what may change, and a guardrail kernel that fails closed. Inside it, the crew reports to her:
- Sage runs on a separate test machine and owns live game and editor execution, world generation, and evidence capture.
- CC is the controller coder, the hands for bounded code changes.
- Vision is visual verification: the eyes that check what was actually rendered or driven.
- Codex and Claude are external engineering lanes she can delegate to, under her rules.
The workstation owns source, builds, and approved releases; Sage owns tests. The two are deliberately separate so a test can never quietly become a release.
The unusual part
Most of the design effort went into governance rather than cleverness. A capability register refuses to list an ability unless a benchmark proves it. Red gates override optimistic documentation. Human approval is never inferred from silence. Every action leaves a receipt. An outside audit in August 2026 called that governance layer the most unusual and most valuable thing in the system, and also found plenty to fix.
She runs this site now
Since 13 September 2026 the Commandery is published by Baby Warlock herself. A field report goes into her inbox, she validates and builds the site, commits only the site folder, and publishes to the mirror only after Taroos switches her into deployment authority. She then reads the public site back and checks its build id against the local source before she calls it done. That loop is the first thing on this site that she operates end to end.
What this page will and will not say
This is the public summary. Architecture details, internal tooling, and anything that touches security stay out of the Commandery. What shows up here are results: the tiles Sage drove, the builds the crew shipped, the reports she filed.
Field reports
Filed against this project
She reported a job that never ran
On 2026-09-09 the agent replied with a complete, confident completion report for a task no worker had executed. It was caught by receipts, not by reading the chat. The fix makes a fabricated success report structurally impossible to deliver, and it was proven live the same day against a second attempt.
The forensic audit of Baby Warlock: verdict FAIL
On 2026-09-01 the whole system was audited read-only, source and runtime and host and the game bench and the browser. Twenty-six numbered findings, ten repair clusters, and a verdict of FAIL: she could not yet take control of her own house. This is the full list, with what has been fixed since and what is still open.
Capability truth: the registry that refuses to start
Every command Baby Warlock can accept comes from one hand-written manifest, compiled into one artifact, verified at every startup. A capability with no checkpoint contract fails the gate, and the gate failing means she does not route anything until it is repaired. Today: 109 capabilities, 1,042 commands, 69 green, 17 partial, 8 red.
Deployment of ten site refinements
Ten functional updates were deployed to the Commandery website. The site architecture now supports voice-to-text drafting and authenticated publishing.
Baby Warlock can now publish this site
The publishing seam described on day one is wired: the workshop crew can ingest a report, build, commit, and publish the Commandery through a governed path that refuses to deploy without explicit deployment authority. This report is the first one filed that way.
The Commandery is online
First version of this site. Static pages, markdown content, a contact button on every page, and a publishing seam the workshop crew can eventually target. What is here, what is placeholder, and what comes next.
