- [Stop Defending Your Moat with Policy](https://medium.com/@sametsamyeli/stop-defending-your-moat-with-policy-3-5-dc288b4b61d4): Build it so the system itself refuses to forget, and refuses to ship the things you swore you'd never build.
- [Zero-Knowledge as Architectural Blindness](https://medium.com/@sametsamyeli/zero-knowledge-as-architectural-blindness-2-5-23581de51e25): Policy blindness says "we promise". Architectural blindness says "we cannot". A schema walkthrough.
- [We Built a Workflow Engine That Can't Have n8n's CVE](https://medium.com/@sametsamyeli/we-built-a-workflow-engine-that-cant-have-n8n-s-cve-4fc3c33dde6b): n8n got hacked through this hole. In lodos.md that hole can't exist, not because I locked it better, but because there's nothing there to lock.
