human approval and audit of agent actions

permission prompts, enterprise agent audit

SystemTechniques · 33Primitives · 98 agent-approvals Human-in-the-loop approvalagentic-ai · medium: Classify each proposed action as auto, ask or deny; park asks as durable pending records a human approves, edits or rejects, executing once, with timeouts that deny.›Deterministic simulation testingdistributed · medium: Run the whole system in one thread under a seeded scheduler with simulated network, disk and clock, so every failure replays from its seed.›Durable workflow executiondistributed · medium: Ordinary code made crash-proof by logging every side-effect result and replaying the code from that log; activities run at least once, workflow logic must be deterministic.›Primary-backup replicationdistributed · medium: One node orders all writes and ships them to standbys; the acknowledgement rule (none, one, all) sets what a crash loses, and an external arbiter decides who takes over.›Saga patterndistributed · medium: Split a cross-service operation into local transactions, each paired with an undo; on failure run the undos in reverse, or retry forward.›Text classificationmachine-learning · medium: Assign one or more labels to a text; climb a ladder from regexes to linear models on n-grams, embeddings, fine-tuned encoders and LLM prompts, only as far as the data and budget demand.›Email delivery smtpnetworking · medium: Outbound SMTP: queues, MX lookup, retries, bounces, feedback loops and IP warm-upStatechartsgraphics · low: State machines with nesting, parallel regions, history and entry/exit actions, so UI and animation logic stays linear in size instead of exploding.›Dual control approvalsecurity · low: Four-eyes / maker-checker approval with quorum policies for sensitive operationsHierarchical timing wheelsystems · low: Timers bucketed by expiry into wheels of slots, coarser wheels for far deadlines: O(1) insert and cancel for millions of timeouts.›Idempotency keysfinance · low: Client-chosen unique key per logical operation, stored with a request fingerprint and the final response, so retries replay the first result instead of acting twice.›Passkeys (WebAuthn)security · low: Phishing-resistant login with a per-site key pair held by the device or password manager; the server stores only a public key.›Authorization models (RBAC, ABAC, R…security · low: How to decide who may do what to which object; roles for coarse rules, relationships for sharing, and checks on every object.›Trusted timestampingsecurity · low: RFC 3161 time-stamp tokens: a TSA signs a hash with time, proving data existed thenAgent tracingagentic-ai · unknown: Hdr histogramdata-structures · low: Log-linear bucketed histograms with bounded relative error for latency percentilesProcess supervisionhardware-os · low: A parent process starts services, reaps their exits and restarts them under a delay and burst-limit policy, then stops them with SIGTERM before SIGKILL.›WebSocketsnetworking · low: Full-duplex message framing over one upgraded HTTP connection; the standard way to push real-time data to browsers.›Mutual TLSsecurity · low: TLS where the client also proves a certificate key, so every connection carries a verified, rotatable machine identity.›Graceful drainingsystems · low: On a termination signal, stop taking new work, finish in-flight work until a deadline, tell clients to reconnect elsewhere, then exit; clients resume from a token.›Cooperative schedulingconcurrency · low: Green threads/coroutines yielding at await points on a user-space schedulerRecord replaydistributed · low: Record every nondeterministic input (time, randomness, I/O, model and tool outputs, per-tick player input) and re-execute deterministically for debugging, replays and state rebuildPRNGs (PCG, xoshiro)numerics · low: Small, fast, statistically strong non-cryptographic generators: PCG32 and xoshiro256**, with seeding, parallel streams and unbiased ranges.›+ 26 more techniques+ 82 more primitives
