The 2026 development
Adobe described background agents for asset organisation, quality checks and channel preparation.
The governance gap
Background agents act without a human in the loop. The controls have to be standing policy, a bounded queue and a safe default when the agent is uncertain.
Where CAIN-42 fits: Moat 7 — Autonomous Trust Control Loop
Core question: Can verified experience change future trust? Monitor, detect, contain, recover, and re-authorise from observed outcomes.
Run the background agent under a lease with a bounded queue and a fail-closed default. Uncertain or out-of-policy work waits for review; it does not get published.
How the wiring works
- Give the background agent a standing, time-bounded lease.
- Bound the queue and the rate of external publication.
- Route uncertain items to a human review queue.
- Record every published asset and its approval path.
What is real today
PROPOSED A design mapping only. No dedicated implementation exists yet; do not buy this as a finished control.
No unattended creative pipeline is implemented or operated here. The list itself calls this a planned capability.
| Component in this repository | What the module says it is |
|---|---|
cain/argus/lease.py | CAIN ARGUS — the Autonomous Assurance Lease (Prompt 14, section 9). |
cain/argus/reauthorization.py | CAIN ARGUS — continuous re-authorization engine (Prompt 14, sections 8-9). |
cain/mission_control/governed_runtime.py | Evolution 15 — the governed task runtime: one admission path for a long-running, multi-agent mission. |
