Analyst Watchdog

An autonomous monitoring agent pattern: watch a system, detect changes, write findings, alert when thresholds are crossed. Runs on a schedule (LaunchAgent or cron) without human intervention.

Pattern

API Endpoint → Poll → Detect Changes → Write FINDINGS.md
                                      → Write OUTBOX.md (for orchestrator)
                                      → Write ALERT_TELEGRAM.md (urgent)

What It Monitors

Configurable, but the reference implementation tracks:

• Model evaluation scores hitting milestones (n=50, 100, 150, 200)
• Promotion events (model proven equivalent to cloud baseline)
• Score anomalies (sudden drops or improvements)
• System health degradation
