Automate your inner scout
summary
Claim: automate the scout rule so code is improved the moment a better state is decided. Concrete tools: OpenRewrite (lossless semantic trees, type attribution) and the Moderne platform (serialized LSTs, cross-repo runs, CLI). Evidence: a Spring Boot 3 recipe built from 1,600 steps, 2,300 recipes in the marketplace, push changes that create PRs, mass-merge and local builds that succeed. Demo shows literal-argument additions and merged PRs, cutting days of manual work to minutes.
