GSHDW / Working questions

Research that starts with working software.

GSHDW studies practical questions by building software and observing where it breaks. The products are experiments with real constraints, not substitutes for evidence.

Three boundaries shape the work.

Q / 01PDFiTT

How should agents move between structured text and fixed documents?

PDFiTT tests whether the useful structure of Markdown and the fixed presentation of PDF can share a reversible workflow.

Q / 02shad

How can a terminal agent remain legible and interruptible while it works?

shad tests visible plans, live terminal state, mid-flight corrections, and a clear return of control.

Where must a person review, correct, or authorize an automated step?

Human review is treated as part of the product design, not as a failure at the edge of the system.

Build. Observe. Write down what holds.

GSHDW will attach dated technical notes and evaluations when there is a real artifact to inspect. Until then, the strongest evidence is what the products can do and where their limits are stated plainly.
