" summary

Claims that the current warranty-free shield is disappearing under legal pressure, notably EU CRA, forcing teams to assume liability for first-party code and making supply-chain hygiene alone insufficient. The proposed fix uses the WebAssembly Component Model to provide fine-grained isolation, language interoperability, and gradual migration paths so teams keep productivity while reducing attack surface. Early prototypes and tooling from Fermyon demonstrate the model composing modules, enforcing boundaries, and running with low overhead.
