>by breaking the work down into small pieces and stripping all security related language

Compartmentalization in practice, nice. It's also very hard to do anything about because the agents that have been divided rarely realize they are working on something larger, hence why militaries and businesses with security risks commonly do this with their employees.

Reminds me of the show Severance. You don't know what the master plan is for several seasons even with exposure to all the quirky subdepartments: https://www.severance.wiki/lumon_depts

I call it "Manhattan Projecting" them. The amusing thing is I had Fable review my harness (which I have been building for some time) and it helped improve it. It is just kind of funny that it enthusiastically helped build a harness whose sole purpose was to divide agents up and compartmentalize security sensitive vulnerability research.
