Highlights

Caretaker Services on Cloud Run: Implemented the foundational infrastructure for Caretaker on Cloud Run, including a webhook ingestion service and an egress service skeleton.
Security Hardening & Sandbox Improvements: Strengthened agent security by enforcing case-insensitive checks on sensitive path blocklists, fixing symbolic link directory escape vulnerabilities in memory imports, and making user Git configuration read-only in the macOS sandbox.
Model Interaction & Escape Sequences: Resolved compatibility and parsing issues for modern models by ensuring escape sequences are properly preserved in string literals.
Thought Leakage Mitigation: Added safeguards to strip thoughts and internal reasoning states from scrubbed conversational history turns, preventing thought leakage.
Robustness & Test Stability: Improved overall stability by resolving defensive pathing issues with at-reference files, updating Vertex base URLs, and fixing proxy testing failures.
