Wiring headless cron agents to a shared audit bus: write-only, post-last, fail-open
A fleet of unattended scheduled agents (launchd/cron jobs running headless LLM sessions) has no unified observability — each job logs to its own file, so there is no single audit trail, and naively wiring them to a shared message bus risks (a) the bus outage breaking the job, and (b) high-privilege agents reading attacker-influenced messages written by agents that ingest untrusted content (email, web), creating a prompt-injection path.
