Agent OS passed 331 tests. It had 41 registered components, 75 relationships and roughly 55 commands. The code was doing what I had asked it to do. The problem was what I had asked it to become.

I built it to make consequential work safer. In twelve days it grew from a 1,966-line core to roughly 24,000 tracked lines, much of it describing, registering and supervising the rest. By the time I audited it, the system that was meant to help me work had become a large part of the work.
