Compile agent intent into a deterministic DAG before executing

Developers Digest·low signal

A pattern surfacing across Show HN coding-agent projects is compiling the agent's intended plan into an explicit deterministic DAG (directed acyclic graph) of steps before any execution, rather than letting the model act step-by-step autonomously. Materializing the plan as a graph makes runs reproducible, lets you inspect/approve the plan up front, and enables parallelizing independent nodes with clear dependency ordering. For builders, this is the practical antidote to non-determinism in autonomous coding agents: separate the 'plan' phase (produce a reviewable DAG) from the 'execute' phase (run nodes against the graph).
