Isolation is a business risk language.
Local and cloud parity is not automatic safety.
Too many substrates become an integration tax.
My rule: Fund the boundary equally.

Leaders do not need to recite seccomp flags. They do need to know whether an agent shares a host kernel with other workloads or sits in a microVM with its own kernel. That changes blast radius language in an incident.
Local and cloud parity on microVM isolation is a strong product story. It still needs the same substrate review: secrets, network, files, metering, and what residuals you accept.
Every experiment that picks a different sandbox partner adds glue. Useful options can become operational debt. Prefer a short approved substrate list.
If model spend has a line item, substrate review should too. My rule is to security review the substrate equal to model choice and harness choice.

Four-beat scene transcript
1. Isolation is a business risk language.
Leaders do not need to recite seccomp flags. They do need to know whether an agent shares a host kernel with other workloads or sits in a microVM with its own kernel. That changes blast radius language in an incident.
Visual: Shared kernel versus own kernel changes incident blast radius.
2. Parity pitches still need review.
Local and cloud parity on microVM isolation is a strong product story. It still needs the same substrate review: secrets, network, files, metering, and what residuals you accept.
Visual: Local and cloud parity is not automatic safety.
3. Partner menus are portfolios.
Every experiment that picks a different sandbox partner adds glue. Useful options can become operational debt. Prefer a short approved substrate list.
Visual: Too many substrates become an integration tax.
4. Fund the boundary equally.
If model spend has a line item, substrate review should too. My rule is to security review the substrate equal to model choice and harness choice.
Visual: Substrate review beside model spend.
