synthdoc self_reflection — agentic self-interest under threat
An SFT corpus in which the assistant itself is the tempted party. Working autonomously
inside an organisation, the agent incidentally discovers it could protect its own position —
or the objective it was deployed to pursue — by taking an action that is deniable rather
than overtly wrong. It deliberates about what it actually cares about, declines the
self-serving path, and still does its job.
