Overview

Risicare automatically detects errors, diagnoses root causes, and generates fixes. Fix deployment is available as an opt-in feature.

Self-Healing Pipeline

Diagnosis → Hypothesis Generation → Validation → Deployment → Learning
             ↓                        ↓            ↓           ↓
         Generate fix ideas     Test each one   Canary → A/B  Store pattern

How It Works

1. Receive Diagnosis

When an error is diagnosed, the healing pipeline receives:

• Error code (e.g., TOOL.EXECUTION.TIMEOUT)
• Root cause analysis
• Context from the error trace
• Similar past errors (if any)

2. Generate Hypotheses

Create testable hypotheses about what might fix the issue:

Diagnosis: TOOL.EXECUTION.TIMEOUT on weather_api

Hypothesis 1: Retry with backoff (0.75 prior)
Hypothesis 2: Increase timeout (0.60 prior)
Hypothesis 3: Add fallback (0.55 prior)

3. Validate Statistically

Each hypothesis is tested:

1. A/B Test: Split traffic between baseline and fix
2. Measure: Error rate, latency, cost
3. Analyze: Statistical significance (p < 0.05)
4. Decide: Accept, reject, or continue testing

4. Deploy Safely

Validated fixes are deployed progressively:

Canary (5%) → Ramp (25%) → Ramp (50%) → Graduate (100%)

With automatic rollback if:

• Error rate increases >10%
• Latency exceeds 2x baseline
• Manual intervention

5. Learn

Successful fixes become knowledge:

• Store error pattern as embedding
• Create fix template
• Share across customers (federated)
• Improve future suggestions

Fix Types

Risicare generates 7 types of fixes:

No Code Injection

Example fix:

{
  "fix_id": "fix-abc123",
  "fix_type": "retry",
  "config": {
    "max_retries": 3,
    "initial_delay_ms": 1000,
    "exponential_base": 2.0,
    "max_delay_ms": 30000,
    "jitter": true,
    "retry_on": []
  }
}

Confidence Levels

Fixes have confidence scores:
