Highly recommend using agent based hooks for things like `[review & test]`. At a basic level, they work akin to git-hooks, but they fire up a whole new context whenever certain events trigger (E.g. another agent finishes implementing ch

fwiw towards your theory, I believe that the US Govt actually considers cloud providers - by way of specific services offered "dual use" systems for mil or civil use. E.g. you will find references in AWS docs to Bureau of Industry

Very curious about this as well. Though I would say the fact that they were not involved with OpenAI on gpt-oss is not a good sign. (OAI partnered with Databricks, NVIDIA, Dell, bunch of MSPs. etc.)
