Staff-level software engineering in Zimac
Follow the change. All the way through.
Cody connects intent, code, tests, CI, deploy, and runtime into one evidence chain—so you can review what changed, isolate what broke, and know what the proof actually says.
Your repositories stay on your Mac until you choose a connected source.
Test the claimChecks, failures, and missing coverage.
Trace the releaseCI, deploy, edge, and runtime evidence.
Act with a gateReads are quiet. Changes ask first.
Cody · Staff Software Engineer
The diff is the start of the story.
Cody is the engineer who keeps pulling the thread: from the ticket to the exact line, from the line to the build, and from the build to what customers are actually running. He separates evidence from inference and says when the chain has a gap.
- Read the systemArchitecture and history before conclusions.
- Prove the pathTests and telemetry before confidence.
- Name the gapUnknowns stay visible instead of becoming guesses.
The proof ladder
A change is only as strong as its weakest link.
Cody does not flatten every signal into “looks good.” Each rung answers a different question, cites a different system, and keeps missing evidence explicit.

Cody’s read
The implementation matches the retry policy. Runtime proof is incomplete.
The diff bounds retries to idempotent payment requests and the test suite covers timeout and duplicate delivery. The canary is healthy, but no pre-change error-rate baseline is attached, so regression confidence stops at deploy.

Your code, where it lives
Mount a repository. Keep it local.
Cody can inspect Git repositories you explicitly mount in the Zimac desktop app: search source, follow symbols, read history, compare branches, and reason across the real tree. The local lens is read-only and zero-network.
- Nothing scans until you mount it.
- Paths stay scoped to the repository you selected.
- Source is not uploaded to create a local code view.

Connect the engineering story
One question. Evidence from the whole path.
When you connect the systems you already use, Cody can follow the same change beyond the repository—without making every engineering question a tab hunt.
Built for consequential work
Read freely. Change deliberately.
Cody can move from diagnosis to implementation, but the boundary stays legible. Passive evidence gathering is quiet. A consequential action is previewed, scoped, and handed back to you for approval.
