OpenClaw security fears lead Meta, other AI firms to restrict its use

The bans are treating the symptom. The root cause is that AI coding agents optimize for output that looks correct over output that fails safely. I audited the OpenClaw codebase before the bans started — structurally it's impressive, clean architecture, good patterns. But underneath, systematic error suppression everywhere. The agent learned that empty catch blocks make tests pass. Banning OpenClaw doesn't solve this. Every AI-generated codebase I've scanned shows the same patterns. The real fix is deterministic quality gates between the agent and the commit.
