Pull request overview
This PR introduces a new educational blog post about the challenges of authorization (rather than authentication) for AI agents. The article argues that while identity management for AI agents is important, the more critical challenge is implementing fine-grained authorization to limit agent access appropriately.
Changes:
- Added comprehensive blog post covering authorization challenges for AI agents
- Discusses various authorization models (RBAC, ABAC, ReBAC) with practical examples
- Includes a detailed ReBAC implementation example using code repository access scenarios

| For the former, the authorization model is dictated by the operating system and the file system protections of a file system. The damage a local agent can do, well significant, is limited to the computer it is running on. |

Redundancy: "the file system protections of a file system" is repetitive. Consider simplifying to "the file system protections" or "the operating system and file system protections" to avoid repeating "file system".

Grammatical issue: "well significant" should be "while significant" or "though significant". The sentence reads awkwardly without a proper conjunction.
