Does adopting Astra lock me into paying for Jev?

No. Jev is an optional judgment layer configured separately from the main generation model, and an ordinary LLM can serve the same role through the shared contract. The runtime keeps execution authority and applies bounded fallbacks for uncertainty, timeouts, and unavailable models.

What do I get when an agent run goes wrong at 2am?

EXPLAIN ANALYZE shows context-source and budget estimates, provider usage, and execution timing, while every attempt, config change, and checkpoint is versioned for rewind, diff, and replay. A User Runner executes admitted calls inside your own repositories and networks.

When is Astra overkill versus a coding agent?

Astra is a shared, self-hosted runtime with durable work, identity, policy, and audit across users and applications, where the server admits actions and a user-bound Runner executes them. A prompt-and-tools loop on one machine is usually simpler with a lighter framework.

What do I actually install and run?

One binary with CLI, TUI, and server plus a web dashboard and TypeScript SDK on one agent backbone, accepting any model endpoint. Context costs stay estimates and unmeasured boundaries remain visible in the trace.

What are the four decision points Jev feeds?

Agent memory filtering, lesson dismissal to tell an explicit correction from a one-time exception, request classification before runtime admission, and skill selection when the evidence clearly supports one workflow.

Is Jev required in Astra?

No. Jev is an optional judgment layer configured separately from the generation model, and an ordinary LLM can serve the same role through the shared contract.

What does EXPLAIN ANALYZE show?

Context-source estimates, request-budget estimates, provider usage, execution timing, and explicitly which boundaries were not measured; ContextPipe cut tokens 31% against append-only context.

About this project

Inspect context and state. Adjust and recover with evidence. Run in your environment. Why Astra · Jev integration · Research · Quick start · Architecture · Runner · Comparison · Docs. Astra is a self-hosted runtime for long-running agent Work. Every model request is assembled by a budgeted pipeline you can EXPLAIN, every attempt leaves evidence you can inspect, diff, and roll back, and execution runs through a Runner inside your own environment.

Highlights

Native Jev judgments feed four decision points: memory filtering, lesson dismissal, classification, and skill selection.
EXPLAIN ANALYZE exposes context assembly, budgets, provider usage, and timed execution spans.
Durable work with checkpoints supports rewind, diff, replay, and continued runs with new constraints.
Server admits actions while a user-bound Runner executes inside the private environment.

Watch out

Under active development with interfaces that may change before 1.0, and the memory evaluation does not establish whole-agent cost savings. Copy reviewed against the repository README on 2026-10-04, not from running it.
