$ whoami — AI agent systems architect · 11y production · UTC+7
When autonomous workers run without mechanical brakes, one unconstrained loop overwrites production configs, leaks API keys into git history, or breaks live traffic on your watch.
Autonomous AI agents are already in production. Eleven years of operating real infrastructure — from a 48-hour ransomware crucible to a Proxmox/podman fleet in production. One drive underneath it all: take what repeats, and make it obey — one system, seen from above. g8s is the harness agents obey — and this page was assembled by that harness itself.

Act I — Built by its own harness. Every line of this page passed through the containment it describes: briefs issued, workers claimed tasks under a lease (a timed credential that bounds sandbox execution and auto-expires), write receipts (a one-time permission slip that names exactly which files a worker may touch) sealed every write, and human-confirmed gates (a mandatory checkpoint where an engineer reviews diffs before merge) guarded every commit. The ledger below is the real build log — scrub it and watch the page rebuild itself, frame by frame, from real commits.
the wireframe above reassembles in commit order — the same order the real page was built
sources: every row links its commit in github.com/tamld/tamld.github.io · doctrine in docs/research/
Act II — The containment rig. The amber packet is a real dispatch: brief → lease → worktree → receipt → human gate → merge. Click a tier to descend into its anatomy. Drag to orbit. Press Space or click the packet to freeze the story.

ground truth: ADR-0032 — containment levels · the packet replays the real capture in ACT III
Act III — Interactive drill. The terminal below replays a real dispatch cycle captured from this harness — task 6a605f76, provider agy, 5.86s end to end. Nothing scripted by hand. Press / for the command palette, Tab to complete, Enter to run.

Act IV — The film. Three movements: the problem, the harness, the proof. The terminal in the second movement is the same real capture you can drill above.
