What is campsismod?

The model layer under Campsis, renamed in step with it and increasingly JSON-addressable.

Campsismod holds the model object layer for the Campsis pharmacometric simulation suite: reading, editing and writing model definitions that Campsis then simulates. Its recent releases track a single programme, adding a JSON route into model objects and then renaming the whole API to snake_case in 1.4.0, a week before Campsis 1.9.0 did the same. Release notes are terse issue lists, so the reasoning behind each change has to be read from the sibling package.

What is Honeycomb?

Canvas agents gain memory, and onboarding moves into the editor

Honeycomb is building an investigation agent rather than a query tool. Automatic Investigations now dispatch to Canvas agents carrying awareness of recent firings of the same Trigger, Burn Alert or Anomaly, so repeat issues get pinpointed against prior hypotheses. Around that sit Anomaly Detection in open beta, MCP-based onboarding that instruments a codebase from the editor, Canvas connectors for Linear and GitHub, and telemetry stats in the Activity Log.

The model layer under Campsis, renamed in step with it and increasingly JSON-addressable.

◆ Current state

Campsismod holds the model object layer for the Campsis pharmacometric simulation suite: reading, editing and writing model definitions that Campsis then simulates. Its recent releases track a single programme, adding a JSON route into model objects and then renaming the whole API to snake_case in 1.4.0, a week before Campsis 1.9.0 did the same. Release notes are terse issue lists, so the reasoning behind each change has to be read from the sibling package.

◆ Where it's heading

This package moves when Campsis needs it to move. The JSON constructor landed here in 1.3.0 and reached Campsis datasets a day later; parameter uncertainty generation was handed down from Campsis in that package's 1.6.0; and the snake_case migration started here before propagating up. That ordering makes Campsismod the place where suite-wide interface decisions are taken first, even though the visible payoff shows up in Campsis.

◆ Prediction

Expect Campsismod to keep absorbing model-level responsibilities that Campsis currently handles, and to extend the JSON mapping to whatever parts of the model object it does not yet cover. The entries give no signal on a 2.0, and with the rename already spent there is little reason to expect one soon.

Canvas agents gain memory, and onboarding moves into the editor

◆ Current state

Honeycomb is building an investigation agent rather than a query tool. Automatic Investigations now dispatch to Canvas agents carrying awareness of recent firings of the same Trigger, Burn Alert or Anomaly, so repeat issues get pinpointed against prior hypotheses. Around that sit Anomaly Detection in open beta, MCP-based onboarding that instruments a codebase from the editor, Canvas connectors for Linear and GitHub, and telemetry stats in the Activity Log.

◆ Where it's heading

Every recent release reduces what a human has to know before Honeycomb is useful. Detection needs no thresholds, onboarding needs no manual SDK setup, and now the agent retains context across alert firings instead of starting cold each time. Canvas is becoming the product's centre of gravity — the surface that reads connectors, edits Triggers and SLOs, and accumulates conclusions.

◆ Prediction

Anomaly Detection should widen beyond error rate and presence to latency and request rate as it approaches GA, and the alert-history awareness added here is the groundwork for agents that correlate across different alerts rather than repeat firings of one.
