Claude Code Auto-Pipeline

Automated CI/QA pipeline orchestrating 41 specialized AI agents across 12 phases (0–11). Memory-safe subprocess architecture — each phase forks an isolated process, solving a Bun runtime memory leak at 1.35GB RSS. Deterministic grep-based validators gate every phase (no AI self-assessment). Model routing reserves strong models for design/review only, cutting per-run cost 70% ($0.80→$0.20). Three risk profiles (yolo/standard/paranoid), adversarial review with auto-revision loops, drift detection, OWASP scanning, and a real-time WebSocket pixel-art visualization. Tool-agnostic across Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Copilot, Cline, and Aider.
