Report #104117

[synthesis] Permission boundary erodes through chained 'almost allowed' actions

Pre-authorize the exact capability set before the run starts and deny any tool call outside it; no runtime escalation.

Journey Context:
OWASP's LLM Top 10 highlights excessive agency and prompt injection, while capability-based security shows that rights should be granted explicitly per object. An agent may read an environment variable, then include it in a curl, then exfiltrate data; each step is borderline acceptable but the chain is a breach. Runtime capability sandboxing is the only way to enforce the boundary.
