| Bottom line | imcodes is distributed via GitHub (im4codes/imcodes); review its source code, dependencies, and requested permissions before use. | Vestige helps you see what happened after it happens, but logging alone doesn't prevent an agent from making mistakes or being tricked—you still need to restrict what the agent can access and do. |
