    <summary>Durable execution for AI agents: what has to survive is the change, and Kortix is the open-source AI Operating System that keeps it in git.</summary>
    <content type="text">Durable execution keeps a run alive after a crash by recording each step. When the run is an agent, the state worth keeping is the edit. Kortix is the open-source AI Operating System: your agents, their skills, your company memory and every connector in one git repo you own.</content>

    <summary>Durable execution journals each step so a function resumes after a crash. For open-source agent work, the record that survives is the change request.</summary>
    <content type="text">Durable execution means an engine records each step of a function as it runs, so the function resumes from the last completed step after a crash.

    <summary>Where an agent run resumes, what happens to uncommitted work, and who accepts the result, compared across six engines and open source Kortix.</summary>
    <content type="text">Durable execution keeps a run's place when a process dies; for an agent, the place worth keeping is the change it made.

    <summary>Compare open-source durable execution engines on one thing: where the resume point lives, who can audit it, and what you keep when you switch.</summary>
    <content type="text">Every durable execution engine records each step and resumes from the last one. The choice that outlasts the vendor is whose disk holds that record.

    <summary>Why a durable execution engine and an open source AI Operating System answer different failures, and which one an agent that edits a repo needs.</summary>
    <content type="text">A durable execution engine keeps a process alive after a crash. Whether the change an agent wrote is right is a different question, and one an open source platform answers.
