InfoQ Online Cohorts Address AI Security and Coding Agent Verification
A look at two InfoQ online certification cohorts covering security and privacy decisions in production AI systems and the verification needed when coding agents work in existing codebases.

Cursor has introduced Continuity, a Git storage architecture that uses an S3 backed write ahead log as the source of truth. The design turns local NVMe repositories into warm caches and separates replica coordination from consistency. Cursor reports linear read scaling with up to 100 replicas and more than 300 pushes per second with S3 Express One Zone in synthetic tests.
By Leela KumiliPresentation: Context Is the New Code
Patrick Debois discusses how to manage, evaluate, distribute, and observe context using proven software engineering practices. He shares how treating context like code - complete with testing, CI/CD, package managers, and security scanning - enables engineering leaders to reliably scale AI coding agents, maintain control over non-deterministic outputs, and build long-term organizational knowledge.

CodeScene has published a case study in which coding agents refactored 300,000 lines of C over three weeks for roughly $4,000 in tokens, verified by a frame-by-frame replay harness. The agents built a playbook of codebase-specific recipes along the way. Practitioners have questioned the scope, the metric, and how much of the result depends on the harness.

The Svelte team has entered the release candidate phase for SvelteKit 3, which focuses on code refinement and prepares for future updates. Notable changes include moving configuration to vite.config.ts, replacing the $lib alias with #lib for improved compatibility. SvelteKit 3 requires Vite 8 and Svelte 5, enhancing error handling and build efficiency, while retaining some experimental features.
