DeFi already ran this experiment with Chainlink Automation, Gelato jobs, liquidator bots and MEV searchers: the loop is cheap, the guardrails are the product. For code agents, budget caps, replayable logs, isolated worktrees and a separate verifier are the equivalent of oracle validation, circuit breakers and kill switches. An autonomous coding workflow without those controls is just a liquidation bot with commit rights.
