overnight-mode

Unattended overnight development requires governance rules, explicit state files, and checkpointing to automate autonomous development tasks safely without user interaction. You configure initial state files and start the automation loop to enable this mode.

Checkpointing during unattended code generation maintains active state, deadlines, and progress tracking in explicit state files. It ensures traceability by logging decisions and supports auto-restart on context limits by gracefully saving and resuming operations.

Yes, automated overnight development tasks can enforce strict TDD cycles. The automation enforces a red-green-refactor testing discipline, tracking iterations to ensure code quality and preventing unverified changes from being committed during unattended operation.

Reviewing autonomous coding results after an overnight run involves checking structured reporting outputs. The system logs issues, test results, and git history to support post-run review, providing full traceability of the automated development session.

Unattended overnight development supports auto-restart when context limits are approached. It gracefully checkpoints the current state and resumes the automation loop, ensuring long-running tasks complete without manual intervention or data loss.

Limitations of non-interactive autonomous development sessions include the strict requirement for predefined scope and safety constraints. Without user interaction, the system relies entirely on initial configuration, state files, and strict rules to prevent unhandled errors or unsafe operations.
