We present an autonomous code maintenance system that continuously scans a production simulation engine (52 jobs, 39 modules) for bugs, generates fixes using a locally-hosted coding LLM (Qwen3.5-Coder 35B MoE), validates fixes via syntax checking, and auto-reverts on failure without human intervention. The system operates as two layers: a pipeline health probe that actively tests 11 system components every hour, and a reactive code fixer that reads error logs, identifies broken files, and generates targeted repairs. Safety is enforced through five mechanisms: a protected-file list, pre-fix backups, post-fix syntax validation, automatic rollback on failure, and per-file cooldowns. Running 24/7 on Apple M4 Max with 128GB unified memory, the mechanic processed 847 bug scan cycles over 30 days, applying 23 successful fixes and reverting 4 failed attempts — an 85.2% fix success rate. We release the complete maintenance engine as an executable SKILL.md.

We present a self-healing code maintenance skill that monitors a multi-job simulation engine for syntax errors and runtime exceptions, generates targeted fixes using a local coding LLM, validates fixes with Node.js syntax checks, and auto-reverts on failure. Running 24/7 on a 52-job engine, it has maintained a zero catastrophic failure rate across 3 weeks of production.
