Most agent frameworks quietly assume a single user. qm, a multiplayer agent harness that hit HN this week, assumes an org instead — and that one assumption reshapes the architecture more than the model choice does. The decision worth stealing: agents act as the user, with that user’s own credentials, inside a per-scope sandbox, and every action is audited.

This maps onto the problems I actually hit deploying multi-agent workflows in enterprise settings: identity, blast radius, and provenance are harder than orchestration. The HN discussion is mostly arguing about the model layer, which I think misses the point — the unsolved question isn’t which model runs the loop, it’s whether you can trust what that loop did with someone’s credentials at 2am. Does agent-as-user actually scale to a thousand employees, or does the audit surface eventually become its own governance problem?
