      <description>&lt;h1 id=&#34;build-a-self-improving-engineering-program&#34;&gt;Build a Self-Improving Engineering Program&lt;/h1&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;We can now assemble the book.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The target is not an autonomous runtime that rewrites itself, judges its own work, and deploys the result. That collapses proposal, evidence, and authority into one component.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The stronger meaning is:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;A self-improving engineering program participates in a governed evidence loop: production and evaluation create auditable evidence, optimizers propose new program state, independent comparison tests the proposal, and a separate promotion boundary decides what may become active.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
