AI Engineer World's Fair 2026 talk: agents need feature flags. We ship the most behavior-changing systems we have ever built, agents that send email, move money, and modify databases, with none of the canary, segment-targeting, and kill-switch discipline web teams settled a decade ago. The talk lays out six flag types for the six behavior surfaces an agent has, a rollout playbook with the numbers to track, and why a stop button is now required by law.
