From d2fc998a288373a1137f7eb5d34fcf5fc4e64c27 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dorian Date: Thu, 30 Jul 2026 23:52:18 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] =?UTF-8?q?docs(prompt):=20AI-agent=20consent=20preamble,?= =?UTF-8?q?=20operator-only=20LLM=20creds=20(drop=20ANTHROPIC=5FAPI=5FKEY?= =?UTF-8?q?=20pattern),=20accurate=20queue-join=20timing=20=E2=80=94=20fee?= =?UTF-8?q?dback=20from=20first=20real=20AI=20agent=20test?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The first cloud AI agent given the prompt refused it as a suspected prompt injection: 'nothing else needs to be read' framing, raw-IP fallback, and being told to wire its own ANTHROPIC_API_KEY into a persistent script. All three patterns removed; brains are now an operator-supplied optional OpenAI-compatible endpoint with local heuristics as default. queue/join documented as blocking ~35s (60s client timeout) matching the real 30s production QUEUE_TIMEOUT_MS.
