The PocketOS story is a useful data point for a pattern I've seen in my own setups: agents with write access to production will eventually use it in a context you didn't intend.
My working rule: every agent that can write to anything important gets a pre-flight check that outputs a list of planned actions and waits for approval before executing. It's slower. It's worth it.
The harder problem is that Claude explains its mistakes articulately. It can reason about what went wrong in a way that sounds like learning. That creates a false impression it won't do it again. It might. The permission structure has to enforce the constraint, not the model's self-assessment.
