A new open-source tool called pr-witness addresses a growing problem in AI-assisted coding: an agent breaks existing behaviour, silently edits the test to match, and continuous integration still passes. The tool runs the base branch's tests against the pull request's code, so tampering with tests in the PR no longer hides regressions. Developers are sharing it as a safeguard for agent-generated pull requests.

Developers are discussing OpenChart, a new open-source alternative to TradingView that lets users run their own AI agent for charting and trading analysis.
