Papers
Technical design notes
Short, honest write-ups of the systems behind mowa — what's implemented today, the design decisions that got us there, and the directions the substrate is built to support next. Written by the engineering team, not the marketing team.
01· Registry design
Versioned Prompt Provenance: A Substrate for Behavioral Tracking in Large Language Model Applications
How mowa stores prompt identity, lineage, authorship, and per-version analysis — and the behavioral dimensions this substrate is designed to support next.
02· Review workflow
Pre-Merge Behavioral Analysis for Prompt Revisions
The analysis pipeline that runs on every draft — health re-score, structural diff, AI rewrites, test runs — and the deliberate decision to keep its output advisory rather than enforced at the merge button.
03· Post-deployment review
Provenance-Linked Diff Review as a Substrate for Diagnosing Behavioral Change
How the history timeline aligns mowa edits, scan-detected drift, and PR lifecycle on one axis — and the steps from human diff review toward automated counterfactual attribution.
On the framing
Each note is calibrated to what's actually shipped. Where a capability is design intent rather than running code, the paper says so plainly and names what would be required to close the gap. We'd rather show our work than oversell it.
