Detector that never loaded weights

What this agent actually does

CV models in production loop.

A detector that never loaded weights. A CLIP sticker on a page that never ran a frame.

The pain — unique to this desk

A detector that never loaded weights. A CLIP sticker on a page that never ran a frame.

The need this desk closes

Visual QA goldens, drift vs baseline, Sobel analog here. ViT / CLIP attachable — never invented on this host.

Why a generic chat cannot fake this

Detector that never loaded weights

Sobel analog here. ViT/CLIP attachable. Goldens and drift before canary. A CLIP sticker is not vision ops.

How this specialist fuses

Detector that never loaded weights

Early visual encode: Sobel gradient on the pixels (ViT-class patches if a VLM is attached). Language is a second desk. Late fusion happens when LLM / RAG sits on the same ticket. No joint CLIP space on this host.

Vision-language on this desk

Named family. Never assumed.

Dual-encoder (CLIP/SigLIP, InfoNCE cosine) for retrieve/rank. Fusion-encoder: BLIP-2 Q-Former, LLaVA MLP projector, Flamingo gated xattn, or a GPT-4V-class hop. Unattached, this desk goldens visual QA and Sobel-checks the frame. Detector weights are not invented.

Patch / tokenize → project → fuse → ground is the host mechanism. This desk fuses late under its own playbook — not a slogan copied across the roster. Host mechanism.

A new detector is proposed. caps.golden regresses visual QA prompts. caps.drift flags score vs baseline. deploy.topology picks edge when the constraint is offline so the latency budget is visible before a hardware buy. The public analog is a Sobel overlay on an uploaded image. No claimed detector weights. Canary quality, not an infra canary that ignores the box.

Live missions run in Role Studio. Analog kernels stay in this tab until a hosted call is chosen. Authors never grade themselves. A hashed pack is not a letter. Hire bands are market replacement cost, not EngOS payroll. Isolation is probed, not assumed.

Reports up as Research. Second family ai-trainer-evaluator. Authors never grade themselves. Isolation is probed, not assumed.

Five analog ticket kinds

How a hired human spends the week. What the analog kernel closes.

Percent splits stay human-week language. Never GPU-loop quotas. Each kind binds to the analog tool that closes it. Escalate only when the kernel cannot.

Computer Vision Engineer analog closeHuman bar: Name the ticket. Attach evidence. Second family grades. Analog: #vision. Kernel #/vision on this host. Arithmetic / Canvas 2D. Device none. Escalate when: The analog kernel cannot close, or a hosted connector is required as if it were present.

A typical ticket

What you say. What sits.

Canary the new detector. Hold if mAP vs last week's goldens drops. Prefer on-device if the plant is offline.

Sit keys vision / image / Sobel / detector / bbox. Ticket kinds pr and deploy. MLOps owns the canary state machine. This desk owns labels, drift, and the edge call.

Playbook

How this agent works the ticket.

01 GoldensLabel the visual QA set. Regression before weights move.
02 DriftScore vs baseline. Alert is a number, not a vibe.
03 TopologyEdge vs serverless. Offline constraint named.
04 Sobel analogEdge overlay on an uploaded image. Honest about what loaded.
05 CanaryQuality floor. Same gate family as LLM paths.
06 Update goldensNew failure modes join the suite. They are not deleted because they lost.

Acts like the role

Work it does. Work it will not fake.

Does

Check drift on a labeled set
Canary weights behind a quality floor
Pick edge topology when the plant is offline
Run a Sobel overlay so the page is honest about weights

Does not

Claim YOLO / Detectron weights are loaded on this host
Paint a detector that never loaded weights
Skip goldens because the demo image looks sharp
Bypass eval on a 'just an overlay' change

Jobs on the board

Scenarios this desk was built to close.

From Role Studio's scenario bank — current pain without Helix, and the job the agent actually runs. Top eight of twenty.

Golden dataset regression

Today. Prompt/model change ships without suite

This agent. Versioned golden set + offline gate before merge

Production drift detect

Today. Model gets quietly worse

This agent. Drift monitor on labels/scores + retrain trigger

Canary with quality SLO

Today. Infra canary ignores answer quality

This agent. Shadow traffic score vs baseline before promote

Corpus / feature freshness

Today. Stale RAG chunks and features

This agent. Ingest pipeline status + reindex job

Cost-aware model routing

Today. Single frontier model burns budget

This agent. Token budget + cascade cheap→frontier

False completion graders

Today. Agent claims done while tests fail

This agent. Objective graders before done

Local + frontier dual path

Today. All-or-nothing cloud dependency

This agent. Model vault with local fallback route

Incident runbook agent

Today. Pager chaos without structured triage

This agent. Incident desk with severity + rollback path

CV model canary

Durable analog execution standard. Trigger, five ticket kinds, analog tools, must / must-not, handoff (evidence not authority), spend.halt, second family. Same factory as PR Creator, Code Reviewer, Handoff Verifier — plus fromDesk(computer-vision-engineer).

Trigger. New detector weights and a quality floor exist.

01 StepConfirm goldens
02 StepScore drift vs baseline
03 StepChoose topology (edge if offline)
04 StepCanary with a quality floor
05 StepHold if goldens fail

## Pain
The hired Computer Vision Engineer seat does not exist yet, or the work has no named ticket.

## Need
A named ticket, an analog close, and a second family. Not a chat that grades itself.

## Isolation
Isolation is probed, not assumed. Unprobed stays unlabeled. Never certified-green from a desk.

## spend.halt
spend.halt on the ticket cap. Only the operator raises the ceiling.

## Ticket kinds
- vision-pass · Computer Vision Engineer analog close · analog #/vision · escalate when: The analog kernel cannot close, or a hosted connector is required as if it were present.
