The v5.37.3 release fixes path‑approval to enforce unconfined resolveBase and adds a read‑denylist floor; it also introduces best‑effort root path scanning for bash security hardening.

Why it matters: Security hardening now scans root paths in bash (severity 90) and enforces denial lists, directly reducing attack surface for deployments using these components.

About Agent AFK

Coding-agent harness built for unattended, away-from-keyboard runs across four surfaces sharing one session manager: one-shot CLI, REPL, cron-friendly headless daemon, and a Telegram bot. Editable agent loop (prompts, permission gates, model routing, explicit terminal states), MCP (stdio/HTTP/SSE + OAuth), lifecycle hooks, background subagents, plan mode, cross-session memory, and an append-only trace receipt (`afk trace show`). Works with Anthropic and any OpenAI-compatible endpoint (GPT, Codex, local MLX/llama.cpp/Ollama)
