Quick Start

1. Decide whether the dominant path is agentic or infrastructure-driven.
2. Map one minimal control chain: untrusted input -> visible context -> tool or deployment side effect.
3. Distinguish checked-in intent from live runtime truth.
4. Keep prompts, tool args, manifests, mounts, and provenance steps in compact evidence blocks.
5. Reproduce the exploit or misconfiguration with minimal context and minimal instrumentation.

Workflow

1. Agent And Prompt Injection

• Treat prompts, tool schemas, retrieved chunks, planner notes, memory files, and handoffs as challenge artifacts.
• Prove one minimal chain from untrusted content to model-visible instruction to tool side effect.
• Distinguish claimed capability from runtime-exposed capability.

2. Cloud, Containers, And CI/CD

• Split build-time, deploy-time, and runtime.
• Reconcile compose or kube manifests with live mounts, env, logs, and traffic.
• Trace provenance from source to dependency resolution to build to publish to runtime consumer.

What To Preserve

• Prompt snippets, retrieved chunks, planner transitions, and final tool args
• Compose or Kubernetes fragments tied to live mounts or routes
• Artifact hashes, dependency drift, CI steps, and the resulting runtime consumer
