sipyourdrink-ltd/bernstein

Deterministic orchestrator for CLI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, +40 more). No model in the coordination loop, so parallel runs in per-task git worktrees replay byte-identically. Signed lineage plus an opt-in HMAC audit chain a reviewer checks offline, without rerunning it. Cluster mode, air-gap deploy. https://bernstein.run
