Deadlatch: Three open controls for AI agents
Deadlatch packages runtime governance into three open primitives: Purse enforces agent actions, blackbox records them, and Tripwire watches for violations.
Why it surfaced
The site turns an abstract AI-safety concern into a concrete control loop, complete with an interactive spend-and-approval console and npm packages. Its audit layer uses a hash-chained log that can be checked with plain SHA-256 outside Deadlatch, while the whole stack can be adopted one primitive at a time without an account.
