journal entry (1 page) mapping one safety property to the current Maku brief flow
Quiz · 3 questions
1. Which property is violated first when a rate limiter is absent under burst traffic?
2. Name one concrete failure mode that a simple in-memory rate limiter cannot survive.
3. How might the current /api/maku/brief route interact with safety invariants once the system is distributed?
