A refunds agentthat can't refundmore than it should.
Two decorators put the workflow under Runtime. Every step is checked against policy before it runs, anything over the authority limit waits for a person, and every decision lands in a record finance can read.

Who
A platform team shipping a support agent that can issue refunds through Stripe.
What happened
The prototype worked in staging. Production means real money, a real audit, and a CFO who wants to know what stops it refunding everything.
What's at stake
An agent with the authority to move funds, running loops nobody is watching, with no record of why each refund happened.
- 01Observe
See the run before you trust it.
Instrument the agent with two lines and every model call, tool call, and dollar lands as a run you can open. Read each step of the trace before anything reaches production.

- 02Run
Policy before every step. A person above the line.
Wrap the workflow and its steps. A refund under the limit is allowed and recorded. One above it is held and routed to a person in Slack with the full context; the run suspends at a checkpoint and resumes when they decide. A budget that runs out stops the run and records why. A kill switch stops the agent from running, immediately.

- 03Prove
Finance gets the record, not a Slack thread.
Every refund decision carries the policy that made it, the amount, the approver if there was one, and the reason. Export it for the quarter or for the auditor.
