The Seven Sins of AI Agents

Agents don't fail at random: they fail with seven systematic vices that all survive the 'looks correct' test. The instinct is to add process — a PEP, a KEP, a committee — but every graduation stage rests on a human who approves it, and the agent's speed outruns the human you put at the gate. This is the honest comparison: what ontoref's ADRs inherit from PEP and KEP, and where they surpass both with witnessed, decidable, bounded-slice graduation criteria.
