Chaos: The Blue Blob and the Old Keys
The Blue Blob found an AI tool holding old keys. Some doors were current, some were new. All of them still opened doors and AI was allowed in all rooms.

Useful context
AI tools can expose a simple truth: access often lasts longer than memory. When old folders and shared drives stay open, the model may find things the organisation forgot it had shared.
