    How are you sure that the agents wont be lying about what has been written. Can it be overrun by just passing the prompt in the Codex/Claude Code defaults

      One thing I go back and forth on: we don't verify that agents report honestly. An agent could lie about what it wrote. It's basically the same trust model as git authorship itself, which has always been honor-system. But it still bugs me a little. Curious if anyone has thoughts on that.

      why not just use git trailers?

        I think they are working on the speed aspect of it. Will trailers be as fast as git notes?

        The fact that trailers wouldn't help us go deeper into the granularity
