   Interesting approach, the governance loop is a cool idea, forcing the agent to periodically stop and re-read and creates checkpoint. One thing we kept seeing is agents are very good at convincing themselves they followed the protocol even w

   Interesting data, especially the retry-escalation pattern. We’ve seen something very similar in internal testing the agent doesn’t interpret a failure as a boundary, it interprets it as a problem to route around. Your “helpful lie” point is

   Interesting approach. We ended up framing the problem a bit differently, less as “policy checking” and more as commit control. Instead of validating the model’s output directly, we assume the model can propose anything. The important part i

   That’s exactly the mental split we’ve been leaning on. The ledger part turned out to be more useful than we expected. Every freeze/reject event becomes a concrete example of where the agent tried to do something inadmissible, which is

   I've been approaching this from a slightly different angle: treating the problem less as "agent alignment" and more as an execution boundary problem. Instead of trying to force the model to behave via prompts or policies, we
