Signadot's Arjun Iyer on closing the validation loop for coding agents

Cortex co-founder and CTO Ganesh Datta sits down with Arjun Iyer, CEO and co-founder of Signadot. Arjun explains why validating code before it merges has become essential now that coding agents are producing far more changes than teams can review by hand. Arjun and Ganesh chat about why a merge should be treated as a contract, how agents can pick and run only the tests that matter for each change, and why the PR is replacing the developer as the unit engineering organizations need to govern. They also discuss where humans still belong in an agentic SDLC, from deciding what to build to staying accountable for what ships.
