Agent infrastructure requires runtime policy enforcement, not just model-level guardrails. Deterministic controls at the system boundary prevent policy violations regardless of model behavior

People in SF need this. Too many cracked open Macs running agents have been spotted outside public bathrooms haha ;-)

God the name was very triggering as someone who worked in the valley 2011-2018 time frame…

Not that I'm against the idea behind the software, but the amount of name-stealing because it sounds cool (sometimes kind of relevant, sometimes not) that software has done, has totally polluted the original words to the point they sometimes don't show up in search results.Even the two Steve's and their Apple company had this issue (as did record companies etc. etc.). Try searching for python now and 'nary a snake to be mentioned.To be fair I'm equally pissed off that a bunch of different pharmaceutical companies re-brand identical molecules with different names for each company and sometimes for different countries even within a single company.Sometimes all this naming cleverness or arbitrariness just makes the world more confusing for everyone.

The macOS sleep-prevention naming canon: caffeinate (built-in), Amphetamine (App Store), and now modafinil. At this rate the next one's going to require a prescription.

I was about ready to warn you that was a trademark, but it isn’t I think, only the generic name. Nice work.
