Agent runs need a third artifact beyond traces and outputs, built for the stakeholder who arrives later asking what was authorized and why.

Each element of an enterprise SQL evidence bundle earns its place by closing a gap the previous layer left exposed.

A CNRS fingerprinting researcher's latest work reveals that production websites are becoming active counterparties, classifying every agent visit with near-perfect accuracy regardless of whether the agent completed its task.

AI output that looks specific before its meaning is earned is a distinct failure mode worth naming, because specificity discourages exactly the scrutiny it deserves.

Payment networks and delegation protocols are revealing what "enough" has to mean when the thing doing the clicking isn't a person anymore.
