Withdrawn as a July 2 signal: Agent Flywheel v0.7.0 was an intake baseline

Edited by Michael Ruescher

The intake still established a useful operator posture: ACFS scripts a sophisticated multi-agent VPS, but v0.7.0 safe mode neither removes its dangerous agent shortcuts nor guarantees that passwordless sudo is absent.

What the corrected intake established

  • At the intake tag, ACFS put Claude Code, Codex, Antigravity, shell tooling, coordination, update, and recovery machinery behind one installer. Several downstream installers still select upstream latest, so this is a scripted front door rather than a reproducible dependency lock.
  • In v0.7.0, a safe-mode run skips ACFS's NOPASSWD write but does not remove a rule left by an earlier vibe run or a provider image. It also installs a shared zsh file whose cc, cod, agy, and gmi shortcuts select dangerous or always-proceed behavior.
  • The tagged LICENSE includes a non-standard OpenAI/Anthropic rider. Potentially covered operators should read it and obtain their own legal guidance; Frontier is not opining on interpretation or enforceability.
