Cold Validation Architecture goes open source

Cold Validation Architecture is an Apache 2.0 open-source workflow for agentic coding that splits building from review. The current setup wires Claude Code to Codex CLI, but the pattern is agent-agnostic: reviewers only see the plan, diff, and test output, with phase gates and acceptance reports keeping the loop auditable.

// ANALYSIS

This is less a code-review bot than a control plane for AI-assisted change management. The smart move is treating review as an independent audit, not a second chat turn on the same model.

  • The reviewer runs cold in an isolated temp directory, so it never inherits the builder's reasoning or sunk cost.
  • Fingerprinted findings plus an append-only adjudication ledger make reruns stable instead of noisy.
  • Max two rounds per phase and controller-side stall detection keep the process finite.
  • Builders can disagree with findings using recorded rationale, which is healthier than forcing blind churn.
  • Bash scripts and JSON schemas keep the system portable, while the retained acceptance report gives security and compliance teams something durable to review.
