Tamper-proof governance for every pull request. Judgment receipts for every PR. Deploys as a GitHub Action. Works with your existing pipeline.
Every review step -- prompt, model output, findings, consensus -- is individually hashed and chained into a tamper-evident bundle. Modify one byte and the entire chain breaks. No proprietary format. SHA-256 end to end.
AI writes code faster than your team can review it. Regulators are not slowing down. The gap between what ships and what is governed grows every sprint. GuardSpine closes it -- automatically, on every PR, with cryptographic proof.
The review engine is open source under Apache 2.0. You can read the code, fork it, run it offline. Evidence bundles are verified with an open-source tool. No vendor lock-in for the core governance function.
