Auditable AI open-end coding

AI-created open-end themes remain proposals until a researcher reviews them; approved themes become variables with assignment evidence, decision history, and a safe undo path inside the same project graph.

• Hosted theme discovery sends only the disclosed response texts and theme definitions through Vercel AI Gateway.
• Model output is not treated as ground truth and requires human approval.

These boundaries travel with the claim in the versioned evidence graph, its JSON representation, the LLM reference, and MCP evidence resources. A generated finding or workflow shortcut does not override them.
