Replying inline because this hit max depth:

W^X applies to file systems as well as page tables, and this is called out in paragraph 4 of the Wikipedia article you didn't read. Respectfully, I'm leaving this conversation at this point because it doesn't seem productive.

You did not hit max depth - you hit a timer designed to prevent rage posting.

My question stands - if you accept that LLM harnesses are designed to allow the building and testing of executables - how do you imagine you can prevent the building and running of executables?

Respectfully.
