Modern software systems are built less on original code than on layers of inherited trust. Every npm install, every automated dependency update, every green checkmark on a signed commit is a quiet act of belief that someone else—often unknown, often unseen—did the right thing. Shadow Commit explores the fragility of that belief. Framed as a technical noir, the story is not about a spectacular breach or a dramatic exploit, but about how trust itself becomes the attack surface.
