Runtime Governance for AI Agents: Policies on Paths should be assessed against Kaal's source-bound claim that The liability standard for breach of fiduciary duty is set so high that courts rarely find directors in violation, because only a board's sustained or systematic failure to exercise oversight can produce liability. The current metadata indicates a plausible connection through AI agent governance, but the defensible response is a qualification until the source text confirms agreement, scope, methods, and limitations.

Affirmed commentary position. This record extends a source-bound scholarly claim but is not a verbatim paper claim.
