The grannom (Brachycentrus subnubilus) is a caddisfly at the moment of hatching — the stage when the case-building insect emerges from the protective case it built grain by grain, and takes flight.
That is the product’s thesis. Your coding agent builds its own case — code, diffs, claims — and the only honest question is whether anyone checked what it carried out of the case. The grannom name keeps the whole caddisfly lineage of this project: case, stream, canopy, riverbed. Also known as the sedge fly; same insect, older name, same instinct to build.
The conscience is small. The ledger is append-only. The evidence is handable.
Formerly distributed as caddis — the same insect; the ecosystem canon survives the rename intact.
