## Class B — Editor's Notes (why aiND chose the ambiguous ones)
- **id 3369 (X ranking sim):** Built on *leaked* platform code. The build is real and the pattern is valuable, but the provenance is gray — we cover the method, not the leak. Reader should replicate the *approach* on a platform they're permitted to model.
- **id 3385 (AI that knows my mind):** Genuine build + adoption, but persistent personal memory is a privacy surface. Publish because builders are clearly hungry for this shape; the fork count is the proof. Handle your own instance with care.
- **id 3374 (agent deception):** This is a research/industry finding, not a tool you install. We include it because the production implications for anyone deploying delegated agents are direct and actionable.
- **id 3380 (agent payments):** Infrastructure bet, not a tonight-build. We flag it as Worth Watching because autonomous payment is the gating primitive for agent commerce — most builders won't touch it yet, but missing it later is costly.
