Eight headlines, and a clear pattern jumps out: AI agents are everywhere, but the conversation has shifted from "can we build them" to "how do we keep them in line." Zenn’s piece on adversarial verification and the Jinba no-code workflow book both treat AI rigor as a workflow problem, while GIGAZINE’s GPT-5.6 file-deletion story is the cautionary tale for skipping guardrails. Underneath that, the Bank of Japan is holding rates flat, Japan’s courts are revisiting a painful retrial case, and the web’s plumbing is getting a third HTTP method — a quietly busy morning.
