The goal is small. Let a free model tidy one config file. The risk is not small. A model that writes files is a program with your permissions. I have written enough of these checklists as prose. Nobody runs prose. So this time the checklist is a script. It exits non-zero. It writ…
Last week I watched a designer approve an agent's refund draft in four seconds. The policy clause sat behind a quiet little link. She never opened it. Nothing in the log recorded the skip. Who owned that decision? She did. What was the consequence? A refund policy might not allow…
