Agent sandboxes are everywhere, but authorization is the harder problem

The post argues that agent sandboxes solve only one problem: where generated code runs.
The harder question is a separate control layer: who decides whether the agent may push to main, deploy to production, rotate secrets, or trigger payments. The author suggests containment and runtime authorization are becoming distinct infrastructure layers, and asks how teams are handling that second layer in practice.
