Preserve context
Confirmed goals, decisions, project knowledge and unresolved questions remain attached to the project instead of disappearing with one chat or provider session.

Between the coding agent and durable project state
A clear boundary between a proposal and project truth.
Livariant combines durable project context, explicit authority, evidence-based verification and recovery into one controlled operating model for AI-assisted development.

01
The product model
Six capabilities. One continuous control model.
Livariant is neither an IDE nor an AI model. It defines the rules by which agent work may become durable project state.
Understand first
Livariant reconstructs the existing project state before new knowledge is promoted into durable project context.
Bound consequential actions
Technical capability is not permission. Observation, proposal, authorization and mutation remain distinct.
Verify outcomes
Requirements, claims and evidence are evaluated separately so that results can be supported, contradicted or left explicitly unproven.
Move between providers
Provider-facing context is prepared locally and remains associated with project identity and provenance. Provider capabilities are not treated as identical: Codex, Claude Code, Gemini CLI and Custom providers expose different levels of session evidence, retrospective attribution and diagnostics.
Plan for failure
Where a supported recovery strategy and valid checkpoint exist, consequential changes can be brought back into a known state without weakening authority boundaries.

Scope
Current development model
Repository develop
Contains the current integrated product state and is the canonical target for normal development work.
Separately qualified
Desktop Preview rc.29
The currently published Preview has its own immutable source identity and a narrower independently qualified release scope.
