Why the conviction moved

• Oct 10
  Strengthened +4

  Microsoft Execution Containers, enforced sandboxes for AI agents in Windows 11, reached general availability on October 7. That puts zero-trust isolation of agent tool execution into a mainstream operating system, the platform-level control this thesis predicts.

• Oct 9
  Strengthened +4

  A new security paper finds that agent skill scanners are bypassed 94% to 100% of the time by hiding malicious Python bytecode behind benign source code. Static review of what a skill advertises fails in practice, which strengthens the case for attestation and zero-trust verification.
