Most GitOps setups assume a platform team stands behind them — people who know
which knobs are safe to turn. Naasson Apps is built for teams that do not have
those people yet.

Everything that runs is described in one repository. A change is a commit; a
rollback is a revert. Nobody edits the running cluster by hand, because there is
no supported way to do it. That constraint is annoying for exactly one afternoon,
and then it is the reason incidents stay small.

The reconciler does the boring part: it compares what the repository says to what
is actually running, and closes the gap. You read the diff before it applies. No
surprise drift, no "who changed this", no archaeology.
