Researcher freezes an AI coding agent’s refactor plan and asks what to attack

A researcher says they froze an AI coding agent’s refactoring plan before execution and is asking for attack surfaces and missing invariants.
- The project is an experimental governance setup for coding agents.
- Before any code changes, the author freezes the chosen refactor candidate, behavioral invariants, quality criteria, and a three-batch execution plan.
- They ask two concrete questions: which evidence-producer manipulation path to attack first, and which behavioral invariant is still missing before splitting responsibility.
