Core concepts
- Detector — a YAML rule that watches a metric / log / trace and fires on threshold breach.
- code_patch block — Sentinel's signature output: a unified diff that fixes the underlying issue, with metadata about which CI gate to clear before auto-apply.
- Self-monitoring — Sentinel runs its own detectors against itself (false-positive drift, missed-detection regret, latency-of-fire).
- Circuit breaker — auto-disables a detector that has produced N consecutive false-positives in a rolling window.
