For the last two years I have watched the same conversation happen in every regulated engineering team I work with. Someone tries the new AI coding agent. It writes a real diff. The team is impressed. Then somebody asks the question that ends the experiment. If we merge this, what do we tell the auditor? The agent did the work. The session was a TUI window that closed. The diff is in git. The reasoning is gone. Whatever policy the agent used, whatever model version it called, whatever tool it ran, none of that survived. In a hobby project that is fine. In avionics, in a medical device, in a SOC 2 release process, in a CMMC-bound codebase, that is a hard stop. This post is the short story of why I started Akmon, what it actually is, and the small set of commands you can try this afternoon. The problem in one sentence AI coding agents produce code. They do not produce evidence. In regulated engineering, code without evidence is a liability.…
