Decision

What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Proceed with caution

Why
Strong primary-vendor maturity (Rust rewrite, 30% token efficiency, Nubank 8-12x/20x) and real ACP openness, but the multi-agent core is research-preview, subagents are ~40% reliable, and the review-risk profile on sensitive code is explicit. Aligns with Rule #29 caution on payment/financial-adjacent code.
Next
Scoped 2-week pilot on a non-sensitive codebase (no auth/payments/PII paths), measuring useful first-draft rate vs the stated 70%+ target and weekly hours saved before any broader rollout; migrate any Cascade-dependent automation to Devin Local before July 1, 2026.
