The recorded agent session turned into a first-class asset today while the storage substrate underneath agent sandboxes was disclosed leaking across tenants.

Oversight became the shipped artifact this week, with GitHub exporting agent traces as standard telemetry and OpenAI publishing the terms of outside assessment, while a Pentagon review showed that already-deployed oversight failed in the human layer rather than the model layer.
