https://traceaxiom.com/guides Practical writing on secure, verifiable AI coding-agent systems. en Mon, 05 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://traceaxiom.com/guides/ai-coding-agents https://traceaxiom.com/guides/ai-coding-agents Learn what separates AI coding agents from assistants, where they fail, and how contracts, independent gates, and human authority make them useful. Fri, 02 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://traceaxiom.com/guides/secure-ai-coding-agents https://traceaxiom.com/guides/secure-ai-coding-agents Secure AI coding agents with least authority, isolated execution, deny-by-default egress, credential boundaries, source integrity, and verifiable receipts. Fri, 02 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://traceaxiom.com/guides/ai-code-verification https://traceaxiom.com/guides/ai-code-verification Verify AI-generated code with candidate-bound build, behavior, accessibility, security, and acceptance gates that can fail independently. Fri, 02 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://traceaxiom.com/guides/coding-agent-evaluation https://traceaxiom.com/guides/coding-agent-evaluation Evaluate coding agents with locked tasks, independent acceptance, provider-reported usage, reproducible evidence, and honest sample limitations. Fri, 02 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://traceaxiom.com/guides/verify-agent-runtime-evidence https://traceaxiom.com/guides/verify-agent-runtime-evidence Review a coding agent’s runtime evidence: identify the observed process, verify signed package bytes, inspect missing coverage, and keep execution approval separate. Fri, 02 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://traceaxiom.com/guides/cost-per-accepted-agent-change https://traceaxiom.com/guides/cost-per-accepted-agent-change A worked example of coding-agent cost per accepted change: include failed attempts, verification and review, separate credits, and handle missing acceptance. Fri, 02 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://traceaxiom.com/guides/verify-ci-artifacts-for-exact-code https://traceaxiom.com/guides/verify-ci-artifacts-for-exact-code A worked CI artifact review: match the source, workflow and attempt, check original bytes, preserve mismatches, and separate successful checks from acceptance. Fri, 02 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://traceaxiom.com/guides/verify-coding-agent-sandbox-cleanup https://traceaxiom.com/guides/verify-coding-agent-sandbox-cleanup A worked sandbox cleanup review: retain results, confirm owned resources and runner removal, preserve failed observations, and reconcile usage separately. Fri, 02 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://traceaxiom.com/guides/measure-coding-agent-speedup https://traceaxiom.com/guides/measure-coding-agent-speedup A worked example of coding-agent speedup that includes integration, verification, review and retries, with explicit treatment of failed and unfinished tasks. Fri, 02 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://traceaxiom.com/guides/review-mcp-tool-permissions https://traceaxiom.com/guides/review-mcp-tool-permissions A worked MCP permission review: match the tool contract, bound the grant, reject invalid requests and schema drift, and keep returned content untrusted.
