AgentMES — a manufacturing execution system for autonomous agents.

Implements OpenAI’s 7-stage AI-Native Engineering Workflow as a bipartite state machine where agents do throughput work and humans own the judgment gates. Tickets flow left to right through 7 columns in a kanban; receipts accumulate inside each card so the final card body is the audit trail.

The demo runs two tickets in parallel through the same pipeline — a code change (OAuth /v2 rate-limit fix that triggers the Stage 5 memory-drift catch) and a knowledge-work ticket (status-update email) — both finishing in merged state in under 10 seconds. Same orchestrator, two kinds of work.

Renderer-agnostic — same 7-stage orchestrator drives a terminal kanban (Rich) and a real interactive web kanban (FastAPI + SSE).

Did not place, but the substrate decision was the lesson: MES-style bipartite state machines are the right backbone for human-in-the-loop agent work.
