SIPA OS — Dark Factory is an autonomous multi-agent software engineering system designed to architect, implement, and rigorously verify production-grade microservices without human intervention during development. For the WeAreDevelopers x BAND Dark Factory Hackathon, our team (Aelin AquaSoul) deployed this factory against the Pocketful track to build a secure, high-concurrency financial wallet and payment processing service. Multi-Agent Architecture: The factory operates via three specialized, non-overlapping seats governed by strict system mandates: sipa-os-core (Planner/Architect): Analyzes project specifications, breaks down requirements into sequential work items with explicit done criteria, and coordinates task distribution. sipa-os-dark-v4 (Builder/Implementer): Implements code using the exact mandated tech stack and executes baseline checks. sipa-os-v3 (Verifier/Reviewer): Independently runs container builds and executes rigorous security and invariant attack suites without trusting builder claims. Technical & Security Highlights: Thread-Safe In-Memory Storage: Custom state management backed entirely by Python dictionaries guarded by threading.Lock(). Strict Balance Invariants (I1 & I2): Enforces money conservation (sum of balances always equals the seeded total) and prohibits negative balances/overdrafts, returning a 422 error on violations. Cryptographic Security: Secure password hashing using pre-hashed SHA-256 wrapped into salted bcrypt digests to prevent silent 72-byte truncation vulnerabilities. Idempotency & Validation: User-scoped idempotency keys across all mutating financial endpoints and strict regex-based handle derivation (^[a-z0-9_]{1,20}$). Dockerized Containerization: Fully containerized with dynamic $PORT support and verified using automated pre-flight testing harnesses.

AI Opportunity Navigator AI Opportunity Navigator is an AI-powered career development platform designed to help university students, fresh graduates, and early-career professionals navigate their career journey from understanding their skills to discovering opportunities and managing applications. Today, students and young professionals face a major challenge: career opportunities are available everywhere, but finding the right opportunity and knowing how to prepare for it is difficult. A student may need to search separately for jobs, internships, scholarships, fellowships, and hackathons while also trying to understand whether their resume is strong enough, what skills they are missing, what they should learn next, and which career path is suitable for them. This process is often fragmented across different platforms and can become time-consuming and confusing. AI Opportunity Navigator addresses this problem by bringing these career-development activities into one centralized platform. Instead of functioning only as an opportunity finder, the platform combines AI-powered resume analysis, skill-gap analysis, personalized career guidance, career planning, learning planning, intelligent search, opportunity discovery, personalized recommendations, application tracking, and deadline management. The target users of AI Opportunity Navigator are primarily university students, fresh graduates, and early-career professionals. University students can use the platform to find internships, scholarships, fellowships, hackathons, jobs, and learning opportunities while developing the skills required for their desired careers. Fresh graduates can use it to improve their resumes, understand their strengths and weaknesses, identify suitable opportunities, and receive career guidance. Early-career professionals can use the platform to explore new opportunities,
