PHYSIX OBSERVATION

This is more an experience-sharing session than a product launch, but the signal is clear: the AI programming discussion is shifting from code completion to process design for long-cycle tasks. For developers, mental models and failure modes are more worth studying than the tools themselves; whoever distills a methodology will be the one who truly benefits in complex systems programming.
