Entry 004

A grocery agent with a fail-closed guardrail

Constrained basket optimization across cost, nutrition, and trip limits, the LLM only handles substitutions. On-device CV (YOLOE, OWLv2, OCR), live retail-API integration, receipt-reconciled verified savings, and an allergen guardrail that fails closed.

Full account in preparation, this entry is being written. The system exists and runs; I'm happy to walk through it live in any interview process.
