Drift Sessions

Drift, flagged while your agent is still writing, and live on your sessions dashboard.

Checks async style, return shape, data access and duplicates. Dashboard sync is off until you turn it on.

Consults are not linked to flags, so none of this is counted as drift prevented.

Only a derived projection (findings, outcomes, metadata) leaves your machine; never your code or prompts. File paths are also shared for each repo where you turned that on. VibeDrift records what it flagged and what the agent chose; it never blocks a change. Observed, not assumed.
