Real Atlassian solutions to real problems — no fluff, no SEO spam.
Three days after v0.3, the Qwen3.8-27B we teach Forge went from 12 of 25 compiling apps to 21 of 25. On the way our own release rule rejected it, correctly by its own text, over a 40-character window repeated 13 times at 32k context. The window was a line of box-drawing characters in an ASCII diagram. Here is what changed, what the metric got wrong, and what we changed so it cannot happen the same way again.

Qwen3.8-27B knows almost nothing about Atlassian Forge: ask it for an app and it invents a manifest format and imports packages that do not exist.

A blocks link in Jira records a relationship. On Free and Standard it reschedules nothing. Here's the engine we put behind it, the required-start rule that's easy to get subtly wrong, and what it still can't do.
