This module establishes why traditional security models fail with autonomous agents and introduces the architectural shift to runtime trust. You'll analyze real-world failures where trust broke in production systems and learn the five disciplines that form the Trust Fabric.

You'll master the Trust Envelope pattern—embedding verification into execution flow rather than wrapping it. Understand key architectural invariants like "fail closed" and "proof at source," and develop the mental models needed to design systems where trust travels with every decision.
