@JustJake: Today, a post where someone's agent accidentally "vibe deleted" their Railway... example_of

Permission boundaries, undo semantics, and guardrails are forms of context—information about what operations are allowed and reversible—that shape agent behavior.

Extreme Harness Engineering: 1M LOC, 1B toks/day, 0% human code, 0% human review — Ryan Lopopolo, OpenAI Frontier … example_of

Tests and documents function as encoded constraints on agent behavior, replacing human judgment. Direct application of using context to shape decisions.
