Multi-agent coding's hardest problem: deciding who is allowed to change what
apghere · reddit · 2026-09-09
A developer of Pairon, an early workspace for multiple humans plus multiple coding agents on shared tasks, argues coordination—not agent capability—is the bottleneck. Their permission model: free read/research, visible handoffs, human gates on "meaningful" writes. But defining "meaningful" (dependency bumps? DB migrations? API contract changes?) proves hard. They're collecting real-world examples of where such boundaries have failed.
