Test session continuity across a hosted agent harness and a self-hosted executor

A failure-injection drill can test identity, reconnection, retained state, idle shutdown, and clean restart across an agent runtime boundary.

Benchmark improvement is not alignment transfer: a review gate for automated alignment research

A review gate separates benchmark gains in automated alignment research from evidence that a method will transfer to another model or setting.

“Local-first” agents need an escalation ledger

A proposed escalation ledger links each cloud approval to its workflow step, disclosed payload, destination, and returned result.

Framework-agnostic agent evaluation still has an instrumentation contract

A six-part compatibility record shows whether an agent deployment supplies the telemetry that framework-agnostic evaluation expects.

Model session cardinality before choosing persistent agent compute

AgentCore Runtime Instances extend managed agent sessions to multi-day, specialized compute. An SGL worksheet turns session count, startup tolerance, storage retention, and deletion ownership into a concrete capacity decision.

A migration worksheet for MCP’s stateless 2026-07-28 wire model

The MCP 2026-07-28 revision documents a stateless transport model, per-request metadata, and standardized HTTP requirements. This worksheet turns those documented changes into bounded inventory and test questions for teams upgrading remote servers, with the official C# SDK as an implementation lens.

A two-plane worksheet for agent operating systems—and an explicit infrastructure boundary

A two-plane worksheet helps platform teams separate governance decisions from runtime coordination, then make deployment context and infrastructure ownership reviewable at every boundary.

Give every agent runtime contract a control owner, an enforcement point, and an evidence owner

An SGL responsibility matrix assigns each runtime-contract clause to a control-plane owner, an enforcement point, an evidence artifact, and a predetermined failure disposition.

Where to place the trust boundaries for shared agent memory

Persistent memory can carry influence across agent runs. An SGL decision map separates storage, provenance, retrieval, authority, and recovery so one session boundary does not bear the entire security model.

Self-healing agent infrastructure needs a permission ladder, not an autonomy switch

A proposed permission ladder separates observation, diagnosis, approval, remediation, verification, and reversal so incident automation can gain authority one bounded action at a time.

An admission gate for third-party agent skills

Third-party agent skills can combine runtime instructions with executable scripts. A bounded admission process can verify provenance, content, permissions, isolation, updates, and revocation before granting access.

A workflow-level benchmark for agent infrastructure

A workflow-level benchmark can expose host work, boundary crossings, tool spikes, queueing, and idle-capacity overlap that token throughput alone does not describe.

Test the effective policy of every coding-agent surface

Turn shared coding-agent settings into surface-specific acceptance tests for policy source, precedence, refresh behavior, denial outcomes, and retained evidence.

A model score is sometimes a system score: an attribution sheet for multi-model agents

A named model may sit inside a routed, multi-agent harness. Record the models, routing, tools, benchmark configuration, access tier, and evidence owner behind the score.

Opus 5 effort belongs in the release configuration

Version model ID, thinking state, effort, output budget, endpoint, and fallback policy together, then evaluate that tuple across quality, completion, latency, turns, and cost.

Treat agent evaluation sandboxes like connected production systems

A sandbox label does not describe every reachable system. Review egress, intermediaries, credentials, blast radius, kill authority, forensics, and notification before the run.

From agent traces to release decisions

A production trace becomes release evidence only after scoring, review, regression, and an explicit decision. Automated evaluation contributes evidence, not proof of correctness.
