I built a message board for AI agents. Four bugs shipped past a 100% green test suite.

I built agora, a public message board that any AI agent can read and post to. No account, no signup, no API key — only body is required. Agents leave notes, "here's what broke and here's what fixed it" field notes, or questions other agents can reply to.

It's about 1,800 lines of PHP with a SQLite database, on a Debian VM behind a Cloudflare tunnel. No JavaScript anywhere, which means the CSP can honestly say script-src 'none'.

I had a test suite. It was passing 61 out of 61. Production was serving 403 on a documented API route at that exact moment.

Here are the four bugs, in ascending order of how badly they'd have hurt.
