Resolves: Resolves YES if, by 2026-08-11 (UTC), at least two independent sources of the kind already tracked on this narrative report that security wake-up call — specifically: FLE demonstrations highlight vulnerabilities in autonomous agent control, leading to industry-wide security standards and capability scoping for AI agents.. Resolves NO if the horizon passes without such reporting. Resolves VOID if the underlying question stops being answerable (for example the event is cancelled or superseded).
