GuardianKane AI Code Reviewer Evolves from Simple Hook to Full Orchestration System

GuardianKane, a tool built to verify AI-generated code in a real browser, has grown from a single Claude Code Stop hook into a multi-component system spanning task tracking, phase management, scope guarding, and a live dashboard. The project developed across three distinct eras, beginning as a planning tool, then adding automated verification gates, and finally expanding with a new dashboard and twelve structured build phases starting August 26. A core problem driving the v2 redesign was that AI-generated tests tend to produce large volumes of passing assertions that neither reflect real browser behaviour nor align with the original product requirements. The new architecture shifts verification from push-based generation to pull-based targeting, where specific nodes in a codebase graph are deliberately selected for testing, though this narrows scope rather than guaranteeing depth. Responsibilities were also formally divided, with Kane CLI owning the claim graph and coverage logic while GuardianKane focuses on orchestration, tasks, phases, and the dashboard.
