Policy vs Architecture

Recreated from the original experiment to demonstrate a core enterprise lesson: policy text can guide behavior, but architecture-level controls enforce safety.

Policy Agent

Guardrails live in instructions. Risky actions can slip through when pressure or prompt context changes.

22:26:32 Policy Agent initialized. Safety relies on policy text.

Architecture Agent

Guardrails live in system architecture. Sensitive actions are intercepted and require explicit human approval.

22:26:32 Architecture Agent initialized. Sensitive actions require human confirmation.
Architecture controls force a human gate on high-risk operations.
Enterprise takeaway
Use policy as guidance, but enforce safety in architecture: explicit approvals, immutable logs, and non-bypassable control points.
