Claude and Codex were following different rules in the same workspace. Nothing crashed, which made the drift harder to spot.

Claude routed work through Brigade but buried the answer under process notes. Codex led with the answer. Their copies also disagreed about shared memory files and handoffs.

Brigade harness profiles give all seven supported CLIs one reviewed baseline while leaving my local notes alone.

@w3c This doesn't seem like an open standard to me, although pretends to be one. Why not? Because it supports proprietary lock-in. Lock-in how? Look at section 8, where several hardware attestation methods are listed: https://www.w3.org/TR/2026/CR-webauthn-3-20260526/#sctn-defined-attestation-formats

Is there any guarantee or assurance that a given platform implement support for *all* hardware attestation methods, including ones that are not proprietary? No such assurance. A platform could support, say Android and Apple''s attestation methods **only** (skipping the actual Open Standard of FIDO U2F), and no other.

So my bank could support Android and Apple iOS attestation **only**, eschewing my Yubikey's FIDO U2F, as used from my #Linux desktop. I'm left to the mercy of my bank, as to whether they feel like implementing FIDO U2F or not.

This standard masquerades as an open standard, then allows locking Linux (and other similar #OpenSource) desktops out.

The doc is not complete but the main parts are there. I hope to release demo videos and more soon.

I really hope that it will help popularize the potential of deception-based security.

What do you think about it?

Automated, offensive AI use is on the rise. On the flip side, AI struggles to tell real data from fake one :)

Timing could not be better: our #deception tech was just released as a Community Module for #Kyma (https://kyma-project.io), making it way more easy to deploy and test.

This project is maintained and developed (with love) in a best-effort way but it works reasonably well from what we could judge so far. Feedback welcome !

Decentralized browser-based P2P E2EE messaging.

The key detail that sets this apart from other messaging apps is the browser-based client-side cryptography philosophy.

No need to install anything. Your ID is crypto-random and so the app doesnt need to rely on any central registration system like phone numbers. Your ID is unguessable and to connect to someone, you have to explicitly share it.

WebRTC has other nuances like being to route through a shared network for secure/faster transfer.

I hope this project has reached a level i can share the following details. I've made a genuine effort towards documentation and transparancy. I dont think it'll ever be enough and so im still concerned it isnt ready to share. While im using AI throughout. This is not a vibecoded project. There is attention throughout for unit tests and formal-verification. With your feedback, id like to make improvements for clarity throughout.

This version of the app demonstrates a fairly unique approach using a browser-based, local-only and webrtc approach. I know it's impossible for any system to be the "world's most secure", but that isnt a reason to not try. By rigorously implementing an exhaustive list of security features and practices, the aim is to get as close as possible.

* [Enkrypted.Chat](https://enkrypted.chat/)

This is intended to demonstrate client-side managed secure cryptography.

Someone “cleaned up” the workaround.

The code looked simpler.

Then the production bug came back.

That strange delay was not just ugly code. It carried knowledge:

The upstream API could replay the same order unless the request was handled carefully.

But the reason existed only in someone’s head.

Keep the Why is an agent skill that captures this kind of rationale as a natural by-product of development and stores it as versioned Markdown inside the project.

So before the next developer or agent removes the workaround, they can see:

• why it exists
• what was already tried
• what could break
• what must change before it can safely be removed

Legacy does not begin when code gets old.

It begins when the reason disappears.
