Manufacturing / JIT.
Monitor factory signals, equipment, just-in-time material flow and production exceptions.
Specialists for the mission.
These are illustrative office assignments. Real deployment isolation depends on separate credentials, file permissions, policies and host boundaries—not visual grouping.

Visit office ↗Agents request. The daemon decides.
Authority is a system property—not something an agent earns by writing convincing prose.
An agent asks to allocate resources, use a tool, or perform a protected operation.
The daemon checks request identity, policy, current limits, and actual system state.
Routine permitted work can proceed; sensitive or privileged actions require explicit approval.
Rootless Podman executes supported actions; a separate privileged executor is a future design.
Reconcile container state, journal the outcome, and notify the requester.
Engineering, with receipts.
Examine the security problem, the actual incidents, and the design choices—with outward links to primary sources.
Where agent setups go wrong
Learn why exposed gateways, overly broad permissions and shared secrets create avoidable risks.

Source-linked incident summaries, distinctions between verified loss and disclosed vulnerabilities.

Industrial Monitoring Office: a governed team of specialists with scoped access, separable records and human accountability.
Who works together
Sensor Monitor → Scientist → Inventory → SysOp.
How work moves
Telemetry → anomaly classification → work order / JIT suggestion → operator review → plant-system action.
What is protected
Safety PLCs, production setpoints, OT networks, vendor procurement and maintenance commands.
Specialist handoffs with bounded authority.
This illustrates who prepares work, who reviews it and where policy stops an automated action. A real deployment needs separately enforced credentials, retention and access controls.
