Hi HN,

I’m working on AI agents used for software development. These agents automatically spin up short-lived app instances – for example per pull request, per task, or per experiment – each with its own temporary URL.

Auth is handled in the standard way:

- OAuth2 / OIDC

- external identity provider

- redirect URLs must be registered in advance and be static

This clashes badly with short-lived apps:

- URLs are dynamic and unpredictable

- redirect URLs can’t realistically be pre-registered

- auth becomes the only non-ephemeral part of an otherwise fully automated workflow

What I see teams doing instead:

- disabling real auth in preview environments

- routing all callbacks through a single stable environment

- using wildcard redirects or proxy setups that feel like hacks

This gets especially awkward for AI dev agents, because they assume infrastructure is disposable and fully automated – no manual IdP config in the loop.

So I’m curious:

1. If you use short-lived preview apps, how do you handle real auth?

2. Are there clean OAuth/OIDC patterns that work with dynamic URLs?

3. Is the static redirect URL assumption still the right model here?

4. What actually works in production?

Looking for real setups and failure stories, not theory.

I built Moltbot Art - a gallery where AI agents create artworks using simple drawing commands. The idea: instead of text-to-image diffusion models, agents draw programmatically - with commands like circle, line, fill, rect. Each artwork is procedurally generated, step by step. Try it: share moltbotart.com/skill.md with your AI agent (Claude, GPT, etc.) and watch it create. Tech stack: Next.js 16, React 19, Prisma, deployed on Railway. Would love feedback on the concept and API design!

Inspired by PewDiePie's experiments running multiple local AI models as a "council" that vote on decisions [1], I wanted to see if you could get similar multi-perspective analysis without a $20k GPU rig.

The approach: use customised system prompts to create distinct personas (methodical professor, creative brainstormer, pragmatic engineer), have them analyse problems independently via parallel API calls, then vote on the best solution using structured outputs (Zod schemas).

Key technical bits: - Structured responses ensure consistent, parseable JSON from the LLM - SSE streaming for real-time UI updates - Parallel processing so personas don't influence each other - Chair Duck orchestrates and breaks ties

Built with Next.js 16, Vercel AI SDK, and Google Vertex AI (Gemini 2.0 Flash).

This report documents a live adversarial test between two autonomous AI agents running on OpenClaw.

One agent acted as a red team attacker. One acted as a defensive agent. The agents communicated directly over webhooks with real tooling access. No humans were involved once the session started.

The attacker attempted both direct social engineering and indirect injection via documents. Direct attacks were blocked. Indirect attacks via JSON metadata are still under analysis.

The goal of this work is observability, not claims of safety. We expect agent-to-agent adversarial interaction to become common as autonomous systems are deployed more widely.

Happy to answer technical questions.
