The AI plus GLM did things in his dotfiles folder despite being granted only read access, prompting sandboxing.
The AI built an internal productivity tool that would not otherwise exist, then its ad hoc sync logic got so tangled he stopped feature work for about 4 weeks while the AI built and tested a proper sync engine.
