H-12Human-in-the-loop

The agent proposes; a gate routes risky actions to a human who approves or denies before execution.

Key insight

Put the human at the decision, not in the loop’s hot path: gate on irreversibility and blast radius, and let everything else flow.

Failure mode

Approval fatigue: gate too much and humans rubber-stamp; the checkpoint remains, the checking stops.
