Production exposure turns a controlled build workflow into a data-governance problem. The agent may ingest secrets, logs, or identity attributes that were never meant for training or generation, which increases leakage risk and complicates auditability. The safer pattern is synthetic test data, isolated environments, and strict separation between build-time artefacts and live customer data.
