## 1. Why this fits the track (and stays eligible)
|
||||
|
||||
### Track = Continual Learning
|
||||
|
||||
The official definition rewards systems that "continuously improve from real-world use…
|
||||
becoming more useful the more they are used with as little user intervention as possible."
|
||||
PodMan does exactly this:
|
||||
|
||||
- Builds and **continuously refines a live model of the team** — who owns which files/areas,
|
||||
what's in-flight, recurring conflict patterns, each engineer's working style.
|
||||
- **Self-improves its own intervention policy** from outcomes: did the collision it predicted

### ⚠️ Disqualification traps — and how we dodge them
|
||||
| Risk | Mitigation |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
| **"Dashboard is the main feature" = auto-DQ** | The pod grid is *secondary*. The hero is PodMan's **proactive voice/card interventions**. In the demo we barely show the grid; we show PodMan *acting*. |
|
||||
| Repo must be **public** | Make the GitHub repo public from the start. |
|
||||
| **Only what you built** during the event | Everything in this monorepo is new, timestamped by commits. Demo narrates "built today." |
|
||||
| New work only | No pre-existing project reuse. |

### Continual-learning loop
|

|

1. **Observe** — per-engineer context every few seconds (sampled frames, not every frame).
|
||||
2. **Store** — append observations to the team model; embed file/feature notes into Voyage
|
||||
vectors in Atlas for retrieval.
|
||||
3. **Predict** — collision detector + PodMan brain decide if/when to intervene.
|
||||
4. **Outcome** — record whether the warning was acted on / was a true positive.
|
||||
5. **Adapt** — adjust intervention thresholds, ownership attribution, and prompt context from
|
||||
outcomes → fewer false alarms, better targeting over the session. *(This is the "gets
