> Deterministic AI agent governance and orchestration framework

Bernstein is an open-source governance and orchestration framework for AI agents. It uses declarative policy-as-code and deterministic scheduling to run agent workflows in isolated workspaces, enforce merge gates, and produce tamper-evident audit logs and signed receipts. It can be run locally via terminal CLI, monitored in a web dashboard, or deployed via Docker.
