Attacker-first agents turn vuln triage into repair candidates
A security agent can start from attacker-first exploit-path search and prepare a production-code fix instead of following an abstract checklist.
Capability delta
- Before: Security review identifies a vulnerability and hands remediation back to humans.
- Enabling change: VulnHunter-style agent reasons from attacker behavior to vulnerable code and repair candidates.
- After: The workflow can move from exploit-oriented analysis to proposed code change faster.
- Human consequence: Security teams get a more actionable review artifact, but still need human approval before code changes.

This delta is useful as a project seed: do not publish an autonomous fix, but build a read-only or approval-gated workflow that shows the exploit path, affected code, proposed patch, and evidence.
