03 / Lineage

Softpowers found the exponent. Servotab found how it applies force.

Servotab keeps the strongest construction insight from Softpowers while giving the public product its own mechanism, name, domain, and visual world.

The task stays the base. Method remains raised and conditional.

inherit / Softpowers

Raised method

Softpowers established the task as the base and method as a smaller, raised operator. Servotab preserves that hierarchy, day-first clarity, evidence-scoped claims, and proportionate depth.

thesis / durable

Exponent, not machinery

Method modifies the work without replacing it. The user’s task, repository, permissions, and requested outcome remain authoritative.

transform / Servotab

Controlled leverage

The raised p becomes a raised t: both notation and a real tab—attached, directional, bounded, and able to change a larger trajectory before settling.

Independent lineage

Shared problem domains. Independently written methods.

The project began as an independent rewrite inspired by obra/superpowers. It works across familiar engineering domains while independently defining its activation model, progressive disclosure, workflow thresholds, testing policy, review shape, delegation contract, and verification scope.

Additional method references and retained terminology are recorded in the repository’s Third-Party Notices. The License History preserves the forward-only licensing boundary across earlier revisions.

Retired identity

The lineage stays visible. The product moves forward.

Servotab is not presented as a lighter “power-up,” a cockpit, or a fixed workflow system. The exponent survives because it still explains the relationship between task and method; the new tab explains how that small method acts with bounded force.
