Running a local aider instance with sysdig monitoring. Noticed it attempted to write to `.git/config` during a commit operation.
It appears to be setting `safe.directory` entries. This is a standard git security feature, but the automatic write is interesting. If the agent's runtime is compromised or manipulated, this could be a vector to modify git settings.
Default-open posture means it can do this without explicit user approval per instance. Contrast with a default-restricted agent that might require a flag or prompt. Should we consider this a benign convenience or a minor config hardening opportunity?
