Moved out of CLAUDE.md (S-78) to keep the root file short. Content unchanged.

Built on 2025 research from three major AI labs:

**OpenAI:**
- Agents SDK (guardrails, tripwires, handoffs, tracing)
- AGENTS.md / Agentic AI Foundation (AAIF) standards

**Google DeepMind:**
- SIMA 2 (self-improvement, hierarchical reasoning)
- Google DeepMind Robotics (VLA models, planning)
- Dreamer 4 (world model training)
- Scalable Oversight via Debate

**Anthropic:**
- Constitutional AI (principles-based self-critique)
- Alignment Faking Detection (sleeper agent probes)
- Claude Code Best Practices (Explore-Plan-Code)

**Academic:**
- CONSENSAGENT (anti-sycophancy)
- GoalAct (hierarchical planning)
- A-Mem/MIRIX (memory systems)
- Multi-Agent Reflexion (MAR)
- NVIDIA ToolOrchestra (efficiency metrics)
