• Bimaaji: agent-safe mutations for Waaseyaa
  2 projects | dev.to | 1 Jul 2026

  If you let an AI agent modify your application, the agent needs more than a text editor. Raw str_replace on a PHP file passes a lot of tests and still breaks things an hour later in production, because the tool has no idea what the file actually represents. Bimaaji is the Waaseyaa package that gives agents a structured path from "I want to add a field to this entity" to a reviewable patch that a community's sovereignty rules have already vetted. This post walks through what shipped in waaseyaa/bimaaji and why each piece exists.

• The ingest side of a sovereign language platform
  1 project | dev.to | 25 Jun 2026

  The part I care about most: this runs on infrastructure the community controls. The app is a PHP service built on the Waaseyaa framework, in Docker behind Caddy, on a Raspberry Pi the community runs, not on someone else's cloud. The corpus stays local. The AI provider is swappable by config. The model assists, it does not own the language, the data, or the hosting.

• One URL, two readers: serving HTML to people and Markdown to agents
  1 project | dev.to | 23 Jun 2026

  The web has two kinds of readers now: people and agents. Most stacks make you build a second system to serve the second one, a separate API with its own routes, auth, and serializers. This post shows the approach Waaseyaa takes instead: one URL serves a human a web page and an AI agent clean Markdown, decided by HTTP content negotiation. It covers the content type you define, the negotiation that picks the format, and the agent-facing routes that come along for free.

• Domain routing in Waaseyaa: replacing a giant dispatcher with small routers
  1 project | dev.to | 5 Apr 2026

  Waaseyaa had a controller dispatcher that grew past 1,000 lines. Every new feature meant more conditionals in the same file. This post covers how that dispatcher was replaced with domain-specific routers, each implementing a two-method interface that keeps routing logic scoped and testable.

• What a real AI-assisted PR looks like
  1 project | dev.to | 2 Apr 2026

  PR #1022 was the first pull request in Waaseyaa where that full chain played out end to end.

• The audit that started everything: how Waaseyaa designed an invariant-driven architectural review
  1 project | dev.to | 1 Apr 2026

  This is Part 1 of the Waaseyaa Governance series. It covers how Waaseyaa — a PHP framework monorepo of 52 packages — ran a formal invariant-driven architectural audit, what it found across five concern passes, and how Milestone 2 turned those findings into the eight-milestone remediation program covered in Part 2.

• Waaseyaa governance series
  1 project | dev.to | 1 Apr 2026

  This series covers how Waaseyaa — a PHP framework monorepo of 52 packages — went from accumulated architectural drift to a governed, verifiable implementation platform.

• Publishing a PHP monorepo to Packagist with splitsh-lite
  5 projects | dev.to | 23 Mar 2026

  The framework is open source and in active development. If you're building a content platform that needs Drupal's content modeling depth, Laravel's developer experience, and AI integration from the ground up, waaseyaa is worth watching.
