The answer, for a growing number of people, is AI agents. Coding assistants with shell access. MCP servers with tool definitions you’ve never read. Scheduled tasks that run an agent at 3 AM with pre-approved permissions and no human watching. Build 14 is Vigil leaning hard into that answer. ...

Vigil fills that gap with behavioral baselines and heuristic analysis. ...
