The Compiler May Read It, the Agent May Not: Keeping Part of a Research Code Away from a Coding Agent

Shobhan Roy

The compiler must read modules a physics-based solver cannot build without; the coding agent must not read that intellectual property. The harness, the software around the model that executes its tool calls, does not ship that rule. We classified fifteen read routes against a container, permission rules and a sandbox. None of the three can tell which program is reading.
