Axiom: Invariant Firewall for AI Devs

The Problem: Autonomous AI dev partners like IBM Bob can refactor code across multiple files in seconds. However, AI models suffer from an unwritten assumption blindspot: they generate code that compiles cleanly and passes basic happy-path tests, but relies on implicit invariants that fail under real-world conditions. For example, assuming transfer amounts are strictly positive, network requests never timeout, or database mutations are always atomic. Because human reviewers are overwhelmed by massive AI diffs, these PRs get rubber-stamped, leading to silent production outages, security leaks, and data corruption. The Solution: Axiom is an adversarial verification and blast-radius firewall designed specifically for autonomous AI development workflows. When an AI dev partner creates or refactors code, Axiom intercepts the changes and performs three key operations: 1. Ghost Invariant Mining: It semantically inspects the diff to extract unstated assumptions across boundary conditions, multi-tenant isolation, idempotency, and concurrency. 2. Adversarial Counterfactual Fuzzing: Instead of relying on AI-generated happy-path tests, Axiom synthesizes adversarial property-based test suites that deliberately attack the extracted assumptions in an isolated sandbox, proving whether edge cases cause crashes or financial/data exploits. 3. Living Blast-Radius & Topology Mapping: It generates a visual dependency graph showing which databases, microservices, third-party payment gateways, and message brokers are exposed to cascading failure. Target Users & Workflow: Axiom is built for enterprise software engineering teams, tech leads, and DevOps engineers adopting agentic coders. Developers interact with Axiom either through an enterprise web dashboard or via automated CI/CD PR checks. When a test breaks, Axiom routes the failure stacktrace back to the AI dev partner for immediate self-healing, and once verified, generates an in-toto/DSSE cryptographic Resilience Passport certifying the PR is safe to merge. What Makes It Creative & Unique: While other tools build generic code explainers or documentation bots, Axiom tackles the enterprise trust barrier. It breaks the circular confirmation bias of AI testing AI by acting as an adversarial counter-agent, ensuring code resilience before production deployment.
