  The recent wave of agent sandbox escapes is being treated as something fundamentally new. Mostly, it is not. We spent decades accumulating security debt, brittle trust, overprivilege and accidental reachability. Agents are making the exploration of those decisions cheap, persistent, parallel and very, very fast. I talk a LOT about this in my latest blog post: https://cirriustech.co.uk/blog/we-automated-dave/ #AI #Sandbox #SecurityDebt

  I accidentally built a control plane for coding agents. It started as a simple goal: GitHub AI Credits arrived, CopeLimit started watching the meter, and being a Scot I was suddenly very much doing Invoice Avoidance Driven Development. Make AI coding agents produce smaller PRs, follow boundaries, validate properly, and stop treating “add JSON output” as permission to invent a new architectural religion.
