The connecting thread is the gap between 'attestation passed' and 'actually safe'.

Signed supply-chain artifacts, agents that lie about completion, and webhooks that 200-OK their way past unfulfilled work — three flavors of the same failure mode, where the receipt looks fine and the substance is missing.

Postgres ships eleven CVEs across every supported branch, Supabase RLS turns successful writes into infinite retry loops, and the Mini Shai-Hulud campaign keeps surfacing fresh failure modes — including a Composer bug that leaked GitHub tokens to CI logs because a token format change broke validation.

Silent contract violations in coding agents, nested-resolver auth bypass in GraphQL, idempotency keys that still double-charge — and a Python EOL cliff worth pricing now rather than in October.

Agents that pass tests without using the argument they added, Django transactions that fire emails before commit, webhooks that report success while the worker silently fails — and an NGINX CVE being exploited in the wild to keep the abstract problems honest.
