ISSUE 001
Synthetic Insider Detection
Projection: Behavioral systems may separate stolen credentials, goal drift, and malicious delegation from legitimate autonomous work. Agent identity and inventory concerns establish the threat surface, but not diagnostic accuracy. Production results need acceptable false-positive rates across all three failure classes; otherwise human alert fatigue defeats the defense.
Why this idea is here
What the evidence establishes.
The cited captures document agent identity, inventory, and security concerns. They do not establish Synthetic Insider Detection as a deployed mechanism. The adoption test is whether behavior systems distinguish compromise, drift, and malicious delegation with acceptable false positives.
