Harper Reed's blog post exploring why personal agent setups don't break containment like large-lab agents, arguing that most agentic system design assumes token scarcity through mechanisms like max-turn caps, cost-based routing, and token-efficient prompts, and beginning an experiment to remove that constraint using lunaroute's unlimited-token service.

First-person framing of an underexplored design assumption: token scarcity quietly shapes most defensive agentic architecture, and the post sketches what changes without it.
