Companion paper to *The Great Shift*. If the first paper described the shift in human effort, this one describes what becomes possible when the middle of the pipeline becomes autonomous. The codebase itself begins to drive its own evolution: detecting issues, proposing fixes, updating dependencies, refactoring stale modules, and shipping changes with diminishing human keystrokes. The paper sketches the architecture, tooling, and operating model required for a codebase that heals and evolves itself, and frames the engineering implications for teams whose role is no longer to write every line.
