To quantify the readiness of the ecosystem, we conducted a source-code audit using Regula (v1.7.0). We analyzed 19,426 files across five cornerstone AI frameworks. The analysis identifies "compliance surface"—code patterns that trigger specific legal obligations under the Act. The Framework Audit Engineering Findings Human Oversight (Article 14) The highest density of agentic autonomy indicators was found in CrewAI. Under Article 14, high-risk systems must be designed for human intervention. Our scan identified 56 instances where autonomous loops lack native confirmation gates, shifting the compliance burden entirely to the end-implementer.…
