Why Does AI Code Grant Access Before Understanding Who Needs It?

AI coding tools default to broad, working permissions long before anyone has actually mapped who needs access to what. The pattern looks like progress, the build runs, the feature ships, but the access model was never designed, it just accumulated. This episode digs into why permissions debt is the quiet cousin of technical debt, and why it is more dangerous because nobody notices it until an audit or an incident forces the question.
