Live, Online Operation for VIGIL

Design a streaming reflection model for VIGIL that operates concurrently with agent execution to enable low-latency diagnosis and in-situ remediation, complementing or replacing the current batch-mode log processing pipeline.

Background

VIGIL currently runs episodically over bounded windows of logs, emitting artifacts and exiting cleanly to preserve traceability and guardrails. The authors note that this batch mode imposes latency on diagnosis and remediation, limiting responsiveness in live deployments.

The paper frames real-time operation as an architectural extension rather than a fundamental barrier, suggesting that a streaming reflection loop could be integrated to trigger remediation with lower latency while maintaining safety and reproducibility.

References

Several directions remain open for advancing VIGIL’s capabilities and scope: At present, VIGIL processes logs in batch mode. A key research direction is the design of a streaming reflection model that operates concurrently with agent execution, enabling low-latency diagnosis and in-situ remediation.
