canary

Use when an agent needs production observability from Canary: uptime, health checks, check-ins, incidents, error timelines, service evidence, webhook responder context, API keys, SDK integration, or agent-readable operational truth. Trigger phrases: "Canary", "production debugging", "incident", "health check", "error log", "monitor", "observability".

Operate Canary's dedicated-host deployment and disaster-recovery runbook: verify Litestream-to-S3 status, inspect the canary.service/container boundary, and run non-destructive restore drills. Misty Step production runs at canary.mistystep.io on a dedicated DigitalOcean host. Use when: "deploy canary", "check canary backups", "is canary backed up", "restore drill", "DR check", "canary disaster recovery". Trigger: /canary-deploy.

QA Canary changes by exercising the real running service, not just tests. Canary is a self-hosted agent observability service: an Axum HTTP API (ingest/health/query/webhooks) over one SQLite writer, plus a `canary` inspection CLI and a TypeScript SDK. "Tests pass" is not QA. Use when: "QA this", "verify the feature", "smoke test canary", "check the API", "test canary". Trigger: /canary-qa.
