From Logs to Fixes: Teaching AI to Maintain Software

Built a pipeline that freezes logs, feeds them to an LLM agent (Claude), maps trace lines to source files, generates fixes, creates GitLab issues and merge requests, and runs CI — all orchestrated with n8n orchestration. Demo uses a tiny Java blog on a €7 VPS; agent finds and corrects typos (wrong casing and a redirect key), produces a descriptive issue and MR, runs tests (16 passing) and deploys. Needs logs as source of truth, snapshots, test suites and guardrails; it struggles with frontend, architecture and very large codebases despite automatic MR generation.
