    🚩 High Hallucination Risk (/Users/enriq/Documents/git/agent-cockpit/src/agent_ops_cockpit/agent.py:30)
       System prompt lacks negative constraints (e.g., 'If you don't know, say I don't know').
       ⚖️ Strategic ROI: Reduces autonomous failures by enforcing refusal boundaries.

    🚩 Short-Term Memory (STM) at Risk (/Users/enriq/Documents/git/agent-cockpit/src/agent_ops_cockpit/agent.py:)
       Agent is storing session state in local pod memory (dictionaries). A GKE restart or Cloud Run scale-down wipes
    the agent's brain.
       ⚖️ Strategic ROI: Implementing Redis for STM ensures persistent agent context across pod lifecycles.

    🚩 Orchestration Pattern Selection (/Users/enriq/Documents/git/agent-cockpit/src/agent_ops_cockpit/agent.py:)
       When evaluating orchestration, consider: 1) LangGraph: Use for complex cyclic state machines with persistence
    (checkpoints). 2) CrewAI: Best for role-based hierarchical collaboration. 3) Anthropic: Prefer 'Workflows over
    Agents' for high-predictability tasks.
       ⚖️ Strategic ROI: Detected custom loop logic. Standardized frameworks provide superior state management and
    built-in 'Human-in-the-Loop' (HITL) pause points.

    🚩 Missing Safety Classifiers (/Users/enriq/Documents/git/agent-cockpit/src/agent_ops_cockpit/agent.py:)
       Supplement prompt-based safety with programmatic layers: 1) Input Level: ShieldGemma or LLM Guard. 2) Output
    Level: Sentiment Analysis and Category Checks (GCP Natural Language API). 3) Persona: Tone of Voice controllers.
       ⚖️ Strategic ROI: System prompts alone are susceptible to jailbreaking. Programmatic filters provide a
    deterministic safety net that cannot be 'ignored' by the model.

    🚩 Agentic Observability (Golden Signals) (/Users/enriq/Documents/git/agent-cockpit/src/agent_ops_cockpit/agent.py:)
       Monitor the Agentic Trinity: 1) Reasoning Trace (LangSmith/AgentOps). 2) Time to First Token (TTFT). 3) Cost per
    Intent. Microsoft Agent Kit recommends 'Trace-based Debugging' for multi-agent loops.
       ⚖️ Strategic ROI: Traditional service metrics (CPU/RAM) aren't enough for agents. Perceived intelligence is tied
    to TTFT and reasoning path transparency.

    🚩 Excessive Agency & Privilege (OWASP LLM06)
    (/Users/enriq/Documents/git/agent-cockpit/src/agent_ops_cockpit/agent.py:)
       Audit tool permissions against MITRE ATLAS 'Excessive Agency'. Implement: 1) Granular IAM for tool execution. 2)
    Human-In-The-Loop (HITL) for destructive actions (Delete/Write). 3) Sandbox isolation for Python execution.
       ⚖️ Strategic ROI: Agents with broad tool access are high-value targets. Restricting agency to the 'Least
    Privilege' required for the task is critical for safety.
    ACTION: /Users/enriq/Documents/git/agent-cockpit/src/agent_ops_cockpit/agent.py:1 | Excessive Agency & Privilege
    (OWASP LLM06) | Audit tool permissions against MITRE ATLAS 'Excessive Agency'. Implement: 1) Granular IAM for tool
    execution. 2) Human-In-The-Loop (HITL) for destructive actions (Delete/Write). 3) Sandbox isolation for Python

    🚩 Explainable Reasoning (HAX Guideline 11)
    (/Users/enriq/Documents/git/agent-cockpit/src/agent_ops_cockpit/agent.py:)
       Ensure users understand 'Why' the agent took an action. Implementation: 1) Microsoft HAX: Make clear 'Why' the
    system did what it did. 2) Google PAIR: Show the source for RAG claims. 3) UI: Collapse reasoning traces behind
    'View Steps' toggles.
       ⚖️ Strategic ROI: Hidden reasoning leads to user distrust. Explainability is a key component of the 5th Golden
    Signal (User Perception of Intelligence).

    🚩 Recursive Self-Improvement (Self-Reflexion Loops)
    (/Users/enriq/Documents/git/agent-cockpit/src/agent_ops_cockpit/agent.py:)
       Integrate Recursive Self-Reflexion. Research from ArXiv (cs.AI) proves that agents auditing their own reasoning
    paths reduce hallucination by 40%.
       ⚖️ Strategic ROI: Ad-hoc loops lack a termination-of-reasoning proof. Standardizing on Reflexion increases
    deterministic reliability.

    🚩 Strategic Conflict: Multi-Orchestrator Setup
    (/Users/enriq/Documents/git/agent-cockpit/src/agent_ops_cockpit/optimizer.py:)
       Detected both LangGraph and CrewAI. Using two loop managers is a 'High-Entropy' pattern that often leads to
    cyclic state deadlocks.
       ⚖️ Strategic ROI: Recommend using LangGraph for 'Brain' and CrewAI for 'Task Workers' to ensure state
    consistency.

    🚩 Architectural Prompt Bloat (/Users/enriq/Documents/git/agent-cockpit/src/agent_ops_cockpit/optimizer.py:)
       Massive static context (>5k chars) detected in system instruction. This risks 'Lost in the Middle'
    hallucinations.
       ⚖️ Strategic ROI: Pivot to a RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) pattern to improve factual grounding accuracy.

    🚩 Strategic Exit Plan (Cloud) (/Users/enriq/Documents/git/agent-cockpit/src/agent_ops_cockpit/optimizer.py:)

    🚩 Recursive Self-Improvement (Self-Reflexion Loops)
    (/Users/enriq/Documents/git/agent-cockpit/src/agent_ops_cockpit/tests/test_maturity_auditor.py:)
       Integrate Recursive Self-Reflexion. Research from ArXiv (cs.AI) proves that agents auditing their own reasoning
    paths reduce hallucination by 40%.
       ⚖️ Strategic ROI: Ad-hoc loops lack a termination-of-reasoning proof. Standardizing on Reflexion increases
    deterministic reliability.

       Monitor for Payload Splitting attacks where malicious fragments are combined over multiple turns. Mitigation: 1)

    (/Users/enriq/Documents/git/agent-cockpit/src/agent_ops_cockpit/eval/quality_climber.py:)
       Ensure users understand 'Why' the agent took an action. Implementation: 1) Microsoft HAX: Make clear 'Why' the
    system did what it did. 2) Google PAIR: Show the source for RAG claims. 3) UI: Collapse reasoning traces behind
    'View Steps' toggles.
       ⚖️ Strategic ROI: Hidden reasoning leads to user distrust. Explainability is a key component of the 5th Golden
    Signal (User Perception of Intelligence).

    scans retrieval context before the Large model sees it).

    highjack the agent's logic during retrieval.
