Portable CI/CD engine using a DAG execution model with caching so pipelines run identically locally or in the cloud

Dagger ships native test intelligence and a CI lockfile — pipelines become verifiable artifacts.

Current state
Dagger has moved well beyond a 'run containers in CI' abstraction. The platform now understands what pipelines are doing: it reads OpenTelemetry test spans and renders a native test explorer, and it pins every external dependency — container image tags, git branches, HTTP fetches — to a content-addressed lockfile committed to version control. The terminal interface has been rebuilt from scratch around native scrollback rather than a constrained viewport.
Where it's heading
The pattern across recent entries is systematic instrumentation of the entire pipeline graph: inputs locked, outputs observable, tests first-class. Dagger is extending the package-manager reproducibility model (npm lock, go.sum) to CI-level dependencies. The direction is a CI runtime where reproducibility and testability are core primitives, not external integrations bolted on after the fact.
Prediction
The lockfile is the likely seed for automated lock-update workflows and module-dependency pinning. The test intelligence layer will probably expand into structured test history and flakiness tracking within Dagger Cloud.
