Empirical Verification in Terminal AI Runtimes: Non-Bypassable Policy Gates and Isolated Sandboxing
This technical report presents the design and empirical evaluation of the verification engine within M31A. We investigate the failure modes of ambient shell execution in language model agents, analyze process isolation mechanisms across Linux cgroups v2 and macOS Seatbelt, and benchmark a two-phase SQLite WAL crash-recovery architecture capable of restoring consistent workspace states following abnormal process termination.
