You could definitely tighten a harness to an extent that a coding agent would only be able to read files that you directly give as context. But the truth is, much of the utility of…

> Codex did surface permission prompts for the add, commit, and push. It didn't run them fully invisibly. So — didn't I approve this? Operator error exists with or without AI. Inst…

LLMs are trained on public data (as well as illegally obtained data see: Anthropic 1.5B settlement). LLMs are nothing without the huge corpus of human data that powers them. There …

Saddle point is a nice way to put it.
