Rosentic

Rosentic is a deterministic pre-merge compatibility checker that catches the cross-branch conflicts AI coding agents create when they work the same repository

81/100Safe BetFree · from $9/moFreemium

Rosentic goes after a failure mode most CI stacks don't test — open PRs against each other rather than each against main. The engine is deterministic and LLM-free with commit-keyed verdicts and a replayable verdict trail, so a PASS can't quietly go stale. The free Check tier gives you the full engine with unlimited scans and no gates on detection, which makes it cheap to falsify the pitch on your own repo before you spend anything. Paid tiers buy memory, not detection: Solo at $9/mo raises history from 30 to 90 days and adds search; Team at $99/mo adds 10 repos, 5,000 scans/mo, shared policies and org visibility. The vendor's own July 2026 post concedes that merge queues already test

Skip it if

Skip Rosentic if your merge queue already tests combined branch states reliably and you don't need per-finding detail, in-loop MCP checks, or a replayable verdict trail for merge gate decisions.

The 30-second take
Biggest gripe

Only 3 repos are covered without an API key, so a team running agents across more than three repositories starts paying at the Team tier's $99/mo for 10 repos.

Price reality

The free Check tier gives the full detection engine with unlimited scans and no gates, so Rosentic's real entry cost is $0 and it stays competitive against paid-only pre-merge tooling. Solo at $9/mo and Team at $99/mo buy history, search and policy rather than detection. Growth at $499/mo is a design-partner engagement, not a standard tier — well above what most teams need, and below enterprise CI platforms once those are licensed per seat.

About Rosentic

FreemiumIntermediateAPI availableWeb · API · Plugin · CLI

Rosentic targets a specific failure mode: two branches that each pass their own CI individually but break main when they land together, because Git's merge never tests the branches against each other. It builds an AST for every file on every active branch, extracts function definitions, call sites, HTTP route declarations and HTTP client calls, then compares every active branch pair to find incompatibilities. The engine is deterministic with zero LLMs in it — same input, same output. It ships as a GitHub Action that runs as a Docker container on GitHub's ephemeral runners (your source code is parsed and discarded, never stored or transmitted), and as an MCP server (pip3 install --upgrade rosentic-mcp) that puts the same check inside the agent loop in Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and any other MCP client. Findings post as PR comments naming the breaking change and the stale caller. It parses 13 languages natively — Python, TypeScript, JavaScript, Go, Ruby, Java, Kotlin, Swift, Rust, C#, C++, PHP — and detects function signature mismatches, HTTP route contract breaks across 20+ frameworks, GraphQL schema conflicts, typed contract breaks, and protobuf/gRPC message conflicts. Two scan modes: scan-all compares every active branch pair (30 branches = 435 pairs), check-siblings compares a dispatched branch set and returns CLEAR or UNSAFE for orchestrators making a fan-in decision. Audit mode is the default and never blocks; enforce mode blocks the merge. The vendor's framing is blunt: catching the break is free forever, and you pay for the record remembering it.

Behind the Verdict

The pitch is narrow and that's a strength. Rosentic does not scan for vulnerabilities, secrets, or supply-chain issues; it does not monitor runtime; it does not find logic bugs or race conditions. It parses 13 languages and finds five named conflict classes across branch pairs. Everything else is out of scope, and the docs say so. What makes it credible is the architecture. The engine is a deterministic static analysis pass over an AST — no LLM inference, so no hallucinated findings, and the same input yields the same output. A scan runs as a Docker container on GitHub's ephemeral runner, so your source is parsed and discarded; the vendor documents that only anonymous scan metadata (org/repo name, conflict counts and verdicts, language and branch counts, timing) leaves the runner, with no file paths, function names or source code. With an API key, finding details are stored for dashboard history — again, never source. That's a defensible data boundary for teams that won't send code to a third party. The MCP server is the interesting half. The GitHub Action is the CI backstop after the push; the MCP server puts the same cross-branch contract check inside the agent loop before the write and before the push, which is where a conflict is cheapest to fix. Teams running ten or more agents in parallel feel this: the alternative is serializing reviews or lowering deployment frequency, and check-siblings exists specifically so an orchestrator can ask at the fan-in point and get CLEAR or UNSAFE. Limits worth knowing before you install. The first scan takes about 60 seconds because it pulls a ~200MB Docker image and parses every active branch from scratch; later scans are faster as the index caches. Scans cover only branches with commits in the last 30 days — stale branches are skipped entirely, so a genuinely dangerous long-dormant branch is out of view. The 13-language list is fixed; anything else is unanalyzed. Detection is identical on every tier, so paying more never buys better catching, only longer history, search, and policy controls — the vendor states this plainly and it's true as stated. Where it fits: platform teams maintaining API and schema compatibility across parallel agent branches, AI-native orgs whose green PRs keep turning main red, and open-source maintainers fielding many concurrent contributions. Where it doesn't: solo developers, teams with strictly serialized PR flows, repos with one long-lived branch, and anyone shopping for security scanning. Rosentic's July 2026 post acknowledges merge queues already test combined states — if yours catches this reliably, the remaining argument for Rosentic is the specificity of the finding, the in-loop MCP check, and the replayable verdict trail, not the existence of the gate.

Real-world workflow fit

Concrete scenarios for the personas Rosentic actually fits — and what changes day-one when you adopt it.

Platform engineer at an AI-native org running 10+ agents

Drop .github/workflows/rosentic.yml into the repo and let the Action run in audit mode on every PR to main; flag findings without blocking while the team calibrates.

Outcome: Cross-branch contract breaks surface as PR comments naming the file, function and stale caller, before the merge queue sees the branches.

Multi-agent orchestrator developer

Call the MCP server (pip3 install --upgrade rosentic-mcp) in-loop before the write, and call check-siblings at the fan-in decision point with the dispatched branch list.

Outcome: A CLEAR or UNSAFE verdict returns before any push, so an agent that would have broken a sibling's interface is corrected before it opens a PR.

Open-source maintainer fielding many concurrent contributions

Enable the free Check tier with an anonymous-mode key across 3 repos and leave the GitHub Action in audit mode on incoming PRs.

Outcome: Cross-branch incompatibilities between unrelated contributors' open branches get flagged in the PR thread instead of being discovered after both land on main.

Use Cases

  • Prevent production-break merges when several AI agents change the same API interface in parallel
  • Get automated PR comments pinpointing the file, function and stale caller behind a cross-branch incompatibility
  • Track interface stability over time and flag high-risk modules before they drift
  • Run 10+ agents in parallel without serializing reviews or lowering deployment frequency
  • Catch schema changes such as a new required field that would break callers in other open branches
  • Have an orchestrator call check-siblings at the fan-in point and get CLEAR or UNSAFE before merging
  • Audit agent-written contributions for unintended side effects on shared contracts across 13 languages

Limitations

  • Rosentic is a pre-merge cross-branch compatibility checker, not a security scanner or runtime monitor.
  • The engine is deterministic with no LLM inference, so it will not find logic bugs, race conditions, or anything outside the listed conflict classes (signature mismatches, HTTP route breaks, GraphQL schema conflicts, typed contract breaks, protobuf/gRPC conflicts).
  • It parses 13 languages; anything outside that list is not analyzed.
  • Scans cover branches with commits in the last 30 days — stale branches are skipped.
  • The first scan on a repo takes about 60 seconds because it pulls a ~200MB Docker image and parses every active branch from scratch; it gets faster as the index caches.
  • The free Check tier covers 3 repos with 30-day history; paid tiers extend history to 90 days and add search and policy features, but the detection engine is identical on every tier.
  • Rosentic's own July 2026 blog acknowledges that merge queues already test combined states — its pitch is narrower: specificity of the finding, in-loop MCP checks, and replayable verdicts.

Check

$0

Ideal for

Solo developers and small teams wanting to test the cross-branch detector on up to 3 repos before spending anything.

What this tier adds

Free entry point: full detection engine with no feature gates, unlimited scans, 3 repos, 30-day history, PR checks and anonymous mode.

Solo (preview)

$9/mo

Ideal for

An individual developer running agents across many personal repos who wants searchable longer history.

What this tier adds

Adds unlimited personal repos, extends history from 30 to 90 days and makes scan history searchable and askable from any chat.

Team

$99/mo

Ideal for

Engineering teams with agents spread across up to 10 repositories that need shared rules and org-wide visibility.

What this tier adds

Adds 10 repos, 5,000 scans/month, shared policies and org visibility on top of the 90-day searchable history.

Growth (design partner)

$499/mo

Ideal for

Design-partner engagements with the vendor; not a standard self-serve tier for typical teams.

What this tier adds

Design-partner tier: stored history comes from CI scans today, with local memory arriving alongside the upload path.

Hidden costs & gotchas

What the public pricing page doesn't put in bold. Captured from pricing-page footnotes, contract terms, and recurring complaints.

  • Only 3 repos are covered without an API key, so a team running agents across more than three repositories starts paying at the Team tier's $99/mo for 10 repos.
  • Free history is capped at 30 days and paid at 90 days — old scan receipts age out, so a conflict you fixed last quarter can't be looked up later.
  • The Team tier caps scans at 5,000/month; a repo set with many active branches feeding scan-all can push against that ceiling since 30 branches alone means 435 pairs per run.
  • The first scan on each repo pulls a ~200MB Docker image, which costs 60 seconds of runner time and shows up later if you set enforce mode and block merges early.

Where the pricing makes sense

The company stage and team size where Rosentic's pricing actually pencils out — and where peers do it cheaper.

The free Check tier gives the full detection engine with unlimited scans and no gates, so Rosentic's real entry cost is $0 and it stays competitive against paid-only pre-merge tooling. Solo at $9/mo and Team at $99/mo buy history, search and policy rather than detection. Growth at $499/mo is a design-partner engagement, not a standard tier — well above what most teams need, and below enterprise CI platforms once those are licensed per seat.

Setup time & first value

How long it actually takes to get something useful out of Rosentic — broken out by persona, not the marketing-page minute.

GitHub Action path: create .github/workflows/rosentic.yml, paste the supplied YAML, commit and push — minutes of work, then the first scan takes about 60 seconds because it pulls a ~200MB Docker image and parses every active branch from scratch. MCP path: pip3 install --upgrade rosentic-mcp plus an editor snippet from the MCP page. Paid tiers start billing at your first scan on the Solo preview

Switching to or from Rosentic

How to bring data in from common predecessors and how to get it back out — written for the switcher, not the buyer.

Migrating in
  • →From manual pre-merge review: add the rosentic.yml workflow in audit mode so every PR to main gets an automated cross-branch check without changing your review process.
  • →From a merge queue alone: run Rosentic alongside it in audit mode for a few weeks to compare what each catches, then decide whether to switch to enforce mode.
Migrating out
  • ↗To a merge queue that tests combined states: if your queue already catches cross-branch breaks, you can drop the Action and keep only the MCP check in-loop.
  • ↗To per-repository custom CI scripts: replicate the AST comparison yourself, but you lose the deterministic engine, commit-keyed verdicts and stored history.
