Series draft — Part 15 of 15 in Hardened Agentic Stack. Outline only; expand before un-drafting.
Phase 5: Human-in-the-Loop — Defense in Depth
The Problem
Compromise response that only wipes destroys forensic evidence.
The Infrastructure Fix
Incident-ready script: memory dump, JWT/signing-key revoke, network isolate — then sanitize.
The Architecture Pattern
Forensic-Ready Infrastructure — recover without erasing the root cause.
Planned sections
- The “Oh No” moment — concrete incident or near-miss that makes the risk visceral.
- ClawQL context — how this control protects a high-privilege local/edge agent.
- Technical how-to — concrete configs, policies, or snippets a builder can apply.
- Safety check — what “trusted enough” looks like once this layer is in place.
