To get meaningful feedback on HN, you'd need to write up a description of what this project is: why did you start it, what's the goal, what are people looking at, how is it implemented.
Without that context, it's too hard to tell what's going on here, and it's unlikely to get meaningful responses.
If you give the backstory of how you came to work on this and explain what's different about it, that tends to seed discussion in a good direction. Good luck!
I started working on this after getting uneasy with how many “autonomous” systems rely on prompt discipline or after-the-fact monitoring once they’re allowed to touch real resources. That felt fragile to me, especially as agents start interacting with files, shells, or networks.
So this is an experiment around flipping that assumption: the agent can propose whatever it wants, but execution itself is the hard boundary. Anything with side effects has to pass an explicit authorization step, otherwise it simply doesn’t run.
I spent most of the time trying to break that boundary — impersonation, “just do it once,” reframing things as a simulation, etc. The interesting part wasn’t whether the agent proposes bad actions (it does), but whether those proposals can ever turn into side effects.
It’s not meant as a product, more a proof-of-concept to explore whether enforcing invariants at the execution layer actually changes the failure modes.
We've banned this account for using HN primarily for political/ideological/nationalist/religious battle. You can't do that here, regardless of which side you're on.
so hilariously american approach. discussion site with prohibition to have discussion under disguise of "battle".
the only place where facts with links are getting downvoted and flagged.
the only place where moderator pretends that everything is ok and in violation of guidelines accuses people of acting in bad faith when they ask him about this.
fish rots from the head
i btw asked you to ban me a couple of years ago. thank you for finally doing it.

Please don't create accounts to break HN's rules with.
Would you please stop posting flamebait and perpetuating flamewars? You've been doing this a ton lately and your account is crossing over the line (https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comme...). We've repeatedly asked you to fix this and your latest run has been one of the worst. That's not good.
We've banned this account for using HN exclusively for political/ideological/national/religious battle and ignoring our requests to stop. That's not allowed here, regardless of which political position you're advocating.
(Before somebody pounces with "so we're not allowed to post about $TOPIC now?": no, I'm not secretly advocating for circumcision (of all things) and this comment is not about $TOPIC. I just had to hang it somewhere so I chose the most recent thread.
The issue is the overall pattern of the account's behavior, which is clearly against HN's rules.)
We've banned quite a few accounts on either side of that issue—theirs as well as yours—not because of their/your view on the issue itself, but because they/you were posting abusively. It's obviously a divisive topic, and people's strong feelings and political commitments are unfortunately leading them to break HN's rules pretty much irrespective of where they stand on it.
You can't derive much signal from cherry-picked examples, because we don't come close to seeing everything that gets posted here. When accounts are posting abusively and not getting moderated, the likeliest explanation is that we just haven't seen it yet. We don't come close to seeing everything that gets posted here.
Without that context, it's too hard to tell what's going on here, and it's unlikely to get meaningful responses.
