Autolith v0.35.0 Puts a Coding Agent Inside a Live SBCL Image That Redefines Functions Without Restarting

Autolith is a terminal agent that runs a full SBCL 2.6.6 Common Lisp environment inside its own process, so it inspects, tests and redefines functions live rather than editing files and re-running a build. It keeps an append-only mutation journal, commits changes as persistent private image commits, recovers code after crashes, and carries memories and agendas across sessions. Workspace indexing is built on the Rust library fff, and it supports recursive inference over corpora larger than the model context window. Works with any OpenAI-compatible provider; binaries, Nix and source available under Apache/MIT.
