CODEC Pilot — parked (project development)

Status: parked as of v3.5 (2026-07-28). Not deleted — the code stays in the repo and on GitHub for future development.

What "parked" means

Pilot's user-facing surface is unhooked from the running product:

  • The dashboard no longer mounts the Pilot proxy router (routes/pilot_proxy.py removed from codec_dashboard.py).
  • The pilot-runner PM2 service is removed from ecosystem.config.js (no :8094 process).
  • The pilot skill (skills/pilot.py) is removed, so it is no longer exposed over chat/voice/MCP and no longer counts toward the built-in skill total.

CODEC ships as 7 products — Core · Dictate · Instant · Chat · Vibe · Voice · Overview. "CODEC Project" folds under CODEC Overview.

Why it was parked

Browser record-and-replay automation hit hard external walls that aren't ours to fix:

  • Google (and similar providers) detect and block CDP-controlled browser sign-in, so any flow that starts behind a Google login can't be automated reliably.
  • Cookie/consent walls and anti-bot challenges break deterministic replay.

Rather than ship an automation product that fails on the most common real-world flows, Pilot is parked until the approach (or the platform constraints) change.

Where the code lives

The Pilot engine source was vendored under pilot/ and its skill/route/proxy adapters in the main tree. Removed in the v3.5 unhook PR (see git history for the full file list). To revive: restore those files, re-add the pilot-runner block to ecosystem.config.js, re-mount the proxy router in codec_dashboard.py, and regenerate the skill manifest.
