How Seamward works
Seamward separates collection, deterministic analysis, AI-assisted proposals, replay validation, recorded approval, and delivery. No single subsystem can turn model output directly into a production change.
Observe
The collector wraps a backend integration operation and records its redacted structure and outcome after the customer operation runs. It sends observations asynchronously and does not proxy the request.
The public Connection key identifies one Integration in a workspace environment. That Integration's secret ingest token authenticates observation delivery and checks its own connection identity. It cannot read observations or other workspace data. Contract automation uses a separate, scoped workspace API key.
Learn what an observation contains.
Detect
Seamward compares observed structures and expected business outcomes with existing evidence. Related findings are grouped into an incident instead of becoming unrelated alerts.
When a contract is registered, Seamward selects the matching operation before comparing structure. One integration contract can contain separate request, response, endpoint, and event schemas.
An incident timeline links findings, observations, release context, replay fixtures, proposals, decisions, and delivery records.
Understand contracts and operation matching.
Validate
A repair proposal is limited to supported transformation operations and evidence from the incident. Seamward validates the proposal schema, operation safety, evidence references, and replay result deterministically.
A failed validation keeps the proposal unavailable for approval, even when the model explanation appears plausible.
Understand deterministic replay.
Deliver
An authorized workspace member reviews the proposal and validation evidence before recording an approval or rejection. Approval does not apply or deploy the repair.
After approval, the reviewer can download a standalone repair bundle or create a GitHub issue or draft pull request. Seamward does not merge or deploy the resulting change.
