Full written post / accessibility read
Draw a shared hallway of containers with locked doors, then a separate house with its own foundation. Flag hardened containers matter. They are still in the shared building. A microVM is the separate house.
Show a checklist at the door: network, secrets proxy, filesystem move, metering. Those controls belong to substrate policy set before the agent runs, not to a hopeful system prompt.
Keep the OWASP residual list visible when someone claims DIY flags equal a microVM. The claim may be directionally careful and still fail a kernel boundary review.
Pick a flag floor when that is the real budget and risk. Pick a microVM ceiling when the trust boundary needs its own kernel. Just do not pretend they are the same review.

Four-beat scene transcript
1. Two rooms. Different walls.
Draw a shared hallway of containers with locked doors, then a separate house with its own foundation. Flag hardened containers matter. They are still in the shared building. A microVM is the separate house.
Visual: Flags harden a shared building. A microVM is another building.
2. Policy before the agent starts.
Show a checklist at the door: network, secrets proxy, filesystem move, metering. Those controls belong to substrate policy set before the agent runs, not to a hopeful system prompt.
Visual: Secrets and network are not prompt instructions.
3. Residual classes stay on the wall.
Keep the OWASP residual list visible when someone claims DIY flags equal a microVM. The claim may be directionally careful and still fail a kernel boundary review.
Visual: Do not erase them with confidence.
4. Choose with eyes open.
Pick a flag floor when that is the real budget and risk. Pick a microVM ceiling when the trust boundary needs its own kernel. Just do not pretend they are the same review.
Visual: Floor and ceiling are different reviews.
