Local-model health pulse, corrigibility challenges, and surgeon capability introspection
The Neurologist (Qwen3-4B local) provides three capabilities: health monitoring, corrigibility skepticism, and self-introspection.
Run before critical operations to verify the entire system is healthy.
When to pulse:
What it checks:
llm_health — can the neurologist respond?state_backend — is the state store operational?evidence_store — is the evidence database accessible?gpu_lock — is the GPU lock stale (dead PID holding it)?MCP tool: neurologist_pulse_tool
CLI: 3s neurologist-pulse
The neurologist challenges assumptions about proposed changes. Use this before committing to an approach.
When to challenge:
What you get back:
claim — what was assumed to be truechallenge — the counter-argumentseverity — critical, worth_testing, or informationalsuggested_test — how to verify the counter-positionMCP tool: neurologist_challenge_tool

Ask each surgeon to honestly report what they can and cannot do.
When to introspect:
