Coding Agent Guardrails

Coding agents now open pull requests on their own, and can leak secrets, install packages a model invented and an attacker registered, or run commands nobody checked.

How we approach it

Run agents in sandboxes with no production credentials and network access limited to the task. Pin dependencies to an approved registry and check every new package. Scan agent changes for secrets and insecure patterns, require human review before merge, and log every agent action.
