Did you see the talk on using eBPF for real-time syscall monitoring in agent runtimes?

Just watched the recording of the talk from the virtual summit last week. The presenter demonstrated hooking syscalls via eBPF in their agent runtime to generate allow-lists, rather than starting from a default-deny posture. It's an interesting inversion of the usual process.

This got me thinking about our approach here. We typically start with a tight seccomp profile and loosen as needed. Their method starts wide open, observes, and then tightens. For complex, evolving workloads, there might be a place for both.

My main question for those who saw it: how would you validate that the observed syscall list during profiling is complete? Runtime coverage is a tricky problem. Also, how would you handle the transition from monitoring mode to enforcement mode in production without introducing a gap?

I'm interested in practical experiences. Has anyone experimented with a similar eBPF-driven approach to build or refine their LSM profiles? Specifically for OpenClaw's orchestrated workloads, not just standalone containers.
