Ara talks about a persistent runtime with files, skills, and memory—how do you decide what gets written to long-term memory vs kept as ephemeral task state, and how do you prevent “stale decisions” or accidental instruction/memory poisoning from affecting future runs?

That’s a really interesting approach. I’m excited to try this.I imagine it probably takes a while to get used to handing off things that used to be manual work, but once that shift happens, I can see this becoming really powerful.One thing I’m curious about though: is there some kind of security layer or approval system to prevent accidental file deletions or unintended emails or stuff like that?
