Plausible Isn't Enough: Safety in Web World Models Is a Decision Problem

A benchmark on 3,000 predictions from ten frozen open models shows 86.1% appear plausible, but authorization remains fragile: low ASK recall, strong BLOCK bias. SafeWebWorld and LAR separate evidence preservation from decision calibration. For local ...
