This week on Ship It Weekly, Brian looks at four “glue failures” that can turn into real outages and real security risk.

We start with CodeBreach: AWS disclosed a CodeBuild webhook filter misconfig in a small set of AWS-managed repos. The takeaway is simple: CI trigger logic is part of your security boundary now.

Next is the Bazel TLS cert expiry incident. Cert failures are a binary cliff, and “auto renew” is only one link in the chain.

Third is Helm chart reliability. Prequel reviewed 105 charts and found a lot of demo-friendly defaults that don’t hold up under real load, rollouts, or node drains.

Fourth is n8n. Two new high-severity flaws disclosed by JFrog. “Authenticated” still matters because workflow authoring is basically code execution, and these tools sit next to your secrets.

Lightning round: Fence, HashiCorp agent-skills, marimo, and a cautionary agent-loop story.
