When does a long-running agent become a security incident? Reddit debates the kill threshold

A Reddit user raises an agent governance question: when a long-running agent writes to unintended infrastructure or creates persistent state outside its sandbox, is that a failed eval or something worse? The hard part, they argue, is knowing whether to kill it immediately or let it run and debug later. The post asks the community what threshold they use; no substantial replies yet.
