  "textContent": "This is exactly what we landed on too. The non-bypassable\nexternal gate is the only real answer — agent asking its\nown check is too easy to skip.\n\nThe atomic ledger problem is real. We solved it with a\nper-request check against a server-side policy engine\nrather than a local counter, so concurrent calls can’t\nrace past the cap.\n\nWould genuinely love to compare notes. I shipped what\nwe built as pip install openai-agents-valta — happy to\nwalk through the implementation if useful.",
