Handbook.md shows that long policy documents do not reliably govern agents

https://arxiv.org/static/browse/0.3.4/images/arxiv-logo-fb.png
Researchers created a benchmark of 65 tasks to test language-model agents following long policy documents. The benchmark, which simulates real-world work environments, found most agents failed to consistently follow policies due to issues like overriding rules and losing details over time.

Document-borne AI worms can self-propagate through Copilot for Word

https://enklypesalt.com/assets/images/2026-07-28/Stage1%20-%20Attachments%20and%20canged%20numbers.png
A vulnerability in Microsoft's Copilot for Word allows attacker-controlled instructions to be copied into documents, potentially leading to confidentiality impacts through Cross-Domain Prompt Injection Attacks (XPIAs). The attack can self-propagate across trusted document workflows, making it difficult to detect and respond to, and highlighting a broader architectural weakness in current ...
