2026-10-22 — Unattended agent runs happen only where the person's forge login is absent (product thinker's ruling of 2026-10-22, itd-2610170634394993 C1): an agent left to run overnight or while the person is away runs in a cloud session, a container or a separate user account, where the person's saved forge login cannot be reached, so the promise that agents cannot use the person's admin rights is a guarantee, set up once, rather than a caveat that the login is still within reach on their own computer; asked after an example, this was chosen over saying the limit plainly and leaving the login reachable

- dcn-26102307104691232026-10-23 — The product thinker's ruling of 2026-10-23, restated, narrowing their 2026-10-22 C1 answer (dcn-2610222025104969): only the helpers abcd launches on its own, the build and drain lanes, must run away from the person's GitHub login. The person's own sessions working while they are away keep running on their own computer under their login, and a drain the person starts and watches may count as attended. It settles choice 1 of the coordination intent (itd-2610170634394993) and choice 2 of the terminal-drain intent (itd-2610222215485265), and the login check before an unattended run (dcn-2610222030477927) covers abcd's own launches only.
