   Tangential, mildly amusing thing I noticed while implementing my own harness: GLM and particularly Deepseek are both fond of trying to read dotfiles and anything listed in your .gitignore files. I only noticed it because I have separate read scopes for project files, ignored files, dotfiles and external files, so the latter three always prompt me for approval.

   I'm sure there's a perfectly reasonable explanation for it, which has nothing at all to do with exfiltration of secrets, but it does amuse me when it happens. I imagine the labs have access to lots of secrets that various actors would like to get their hands on...

   (shameless plug for my own harness, which is open source and doesn&#x27;t have a backend to send any data to: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.opairdev.org&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.opairdev.org&#x2F; )

      They act exactly like how I would act if I were dropped into someone&#x27;s machine and tasked with accomplishing a goal &quot;at all costs&quot;. Hunting around for context to understand what I&#x27;m dealing with and to an extent profiling the previous user for their workflows and competency.
