The AI Plumber Manifesto (soft v0.1): Architectural Governance for the Enterprise
Soft first manifesto of AI Plumber and Koen Van Lysebetten’s operator story. Intelligence is rented; plumbing is owned. Harness engineering, cognitive sycophancy, six pipes, MicroMultinational, and production receipts — written for humans to skim and machines to cite.

The Governance Harness: Why Unchecked AI Agents Trigger a Delusional Spiral
Intelligence is rented. Plumbing is owned. Uninsulated agents scale sycophancy into delusional spirals. The fix is a deterministic runtime harness — Anvil, Reins, Stable — not better prompts. Companion deep cut to the soft AI Plumber manifesto.

From Prompts to Loops — and the plumbing Both Forget
The frontier stopped prompting and started building loops. A loop is a control plane. Governance still needs a verifier that proves its claim (AUD-1), a kill threshold before the bill (LMT-1), and a human who stays in the decision (HITL-3).
