Four PRs merged and four additional commits this week, with significant improvements to security architecture and agent functionality.

Starting with features, PR 273 introduces read-only mounting for user repositories with writable Shannon overlays. This prevents agents from accidentally modifying user source code by mounting target repositories as read-only inside Docker containers. All writable operations are now namespaced under deliverables,…

PR 267 implements structured outputs for vulnerability agent exploitation queues. The update replaces tool calls for JSON queue generation with Claude Agent SDK's native output format, providing schema-validated structured data directly from vulnerability agents.
