I started with a naive correctness implementation that passed third-party tests, and then I incremented to the optimized release of today with things like a packed byte arena for scrollback that grows on demand.

It wonβt work : My suspicion was that GPT 5.6-Cyber would succeed, but the frequency and manner of its success removed all doubt. We have to reassess sandboxing quality for capable AI agents, and in general the software stack with which they interact. An off-the-shelf VM is not enough to contain a modern, cyber-capable AI agent. There is simply too much attack surface. Even innocuous features (like running with a display) add extra, exploitable attack surface.

Sessions contain the code and the reasoning behind it. That makes them a better source for review than the diff alone. Every issue must cite lines in the session record, so any claim traces to its source. You can review, fix, or close issues as skipped. Gaβ¦
