CI wasn’t built for coding agents. Here’s what comes next.

Traditional CI is too slow for coding agents, whose code changes happen in seconds rather than minutes.

The article proposes on-demand real environments and a new validation unit called a plan, built from typed actions.

Plans can run inside an agent session during the inner loop, giving faster and more realistic feedback.

The same plans can also be reused in CI, bridging local development and outer-loop validation.
