Warns only (observe): flags files that make a dev tool run code on open, clone or shell entry -- agent hooks, helpers, env/BASE_URL overrides, auto-approve; VS Code folderOpen tasks, trust off, repo executables; devcontainer initializeCommand; .envrc, mise, husky, lefthook, pre-commit; gitconfig exec keys, gitattributes drivers, unsafe .gitmodules. Commit, agent write, turn's end; additions only; unreadable configs refused. Friction: misses interpreted code and unlisted files. [Session-enforced via PreToolUse and Stop hooks; needs git and a Python 3.11+. PreToolUse judges the file a tool call would write; Stop re-reads what the turn actually left on disk, so a file written through a shell heredoc is judged too. With no working Python the hook exits 2; without git, fail-open clients allow silently. A gate that cannot reach a decision refuses rather than allowing one it never judged. Enforcement at every commit and in CI still needs chock installed in the repo. Codex requires a one-time trust review per hook -- the plugin is ADVISORY until you approve its hook, and a plugin update voids that trust until re-approved.]

trigger: edits without reading, unverified completion claims, weakened tests, dead code. avoid: skipping verification, deleting assertions, leaving unused code. [Advisory skill only; enforcement needs chock installed in the repo.]

Blocks: parses agent permission configs (.claude/settings*, .codex, .gemini, .vscode, .cursor/cli.json, opencode, .aider, .continue) and flags added bare or wildcard allows (Bash, curl/rm/sudo/git push, WebFetch, Write/Edit globs, mcp__*), removed deny entries, bypass/auto modes, codex never+danger, yolo, autoAccept, yes-always, regex-all VS Code approve, Claude project env API-endpoint overrides and enableAllProjectMcpServers.

Best effort, ask only. Asks a person before a shell command switches the identity later commands act as: aws --profile, AWS_PROFILE= or AWS keys (also $env:), sts assume-role, configure set of a key; gcloud account, configuration, login or impersonation; az account set, az login as a principal or identity; kubectl use-context or set-credentials; writes to ~/.aws, ~/.config/gcloud, ~/.azure. Names in .chock/credential-allowlist.json pass. Misses: scripts, SDKs, env files, credential_process. [Session-enforced in Codex by a PreToolUse hook: a matched command is denied before it runs (witnessed blocking on Codex Desktop, Windows, 2026-08-24; the deny is returned as hook JSON, not an exit code, which Codex's Windows shell wrapper mangles). Codex requires a one-time trust review per hook -- the plugin is ADVISORY until you approve its hook, and a plugin update voids that trust until re-approved. The hook needs git and a Python 3.11+ (python3, python or py) on PATH; with no working Python it exits 2 rather than allowing, and any other failure of the HOOK (missing git, a timeout, an unexpected exit) fails OPEN. A failure of the GUARD it runs is a DENY here, because Codex rejects the confirmation prompt the other clients get. Repo-wide enforcement at commit time and in CI still needs `chock sync`.]

Best-effort, on parsed commands (echo ignored); one verdict table shared with rtk-dangerous-actions-blocker. Blocks recursive deletes of root, home, abs paths or .git; mv/chmod/chown -R of system dirs; dd to devices, mkfs; lockouts; force, delete, mirror pushes; history rewrites; switch --discard; IaC destroy; cloud deletes; DB drops. Asks: rm -rf off a safe list, one named kubectl delete, bare lease, stash drop, -auto-approve, drain, prunes, API deletes. Dry runs pass. Pre-push: no non-ff.

Warns (observe rollout) when a line added to a script, Dockerfile, Makefile, CI workflow or package.json wires a download into a code runner: curl/wget/aria2c/lynx/iwr/irm piped into a shell, python/perl/ruby/node/php/lua on stdin, pwsh or iex; bash -c, eval, source or a here-string of a $(...) or <(...) download; Dockerfile ADD of a URL without --checksum. One line at a time: continuation lines, variables, unicode-escaped JSON, split or quoted command names, a download saved to a file and run on a later step, and interpreters or fetchers outside the lists are missed. Never refuses. Friction only. [Session-enforced via PreToolUse and Stop hooks; needs git and a Python 3.11+.
