RTK compresses only shell output and independent evaluations show little to no end-to-end cost reduction. Drop the package and its install snippets; runtime artifacts were uninstalled separately.
Use one wording per gating family: exact target and scope, recovery path or safety guard, and explicit authorization. Remove the home-directory instance from workspace access and the repeated approval gate from the breaking-change bullet. Sync the high-impact eval scenario wording.
State the destructive-and-high-impact section as a principle: irreversible operations need explicit authorization, destructive or force operations form a separate categorical gate, and unpublished history rewrites are exempt at section level. Generalize infrastructure preview invalidation to any input change, and add an irreversible-action eval scenario.
Generalize the revert rule to protect any content the user changed or removed, and require confirmation before touching it. Replace the mock ban with a scope rule: checks must not be faked or weakened, and test doubles may replace only what a check does not verify. Sync the matching eval scenario.
- limit POSIX shell to a single command with arguments
- route pipes, chaining, substitution, redirection, and ShellCheck/BashPitfalls cases to Nushell or Python
- remove the Request handling and Scope and precedence sections
- keep the non-weakening guarantee under Safety and authorization
- remove the now-stale eval scenarios
- merge verification rules and split infrastructure guidance
- shorten Tools, Shell/scripts, and Communication
- apply script validation to any script file, including temporary ones
- sync evals
* docs(agents): bind authorization to the change boundary
* docs(agents): require target identity confirmation
* docs(agents): classify operations by impact, not command form
* docs(agents): require reviewed previews for high-risk IaC
* docs(agents): verify production changes beyond exit codes
* docs(agents): sync new-script eval with current rules
* docs(agents): split global rules evals into smoke and extended
* docs(agents): refine change guardrails wording
- scope the guardrails to any environment, not only production
- preview high-risk changes with plan, diff, or dry-run
- trim redundant examples and simplify target identity confirmation
- confirm unclear targets with the user instead of stopping
- allow file-path secret references and require approval for breaking changes
- relax the commit subject limit and allow rewriting unpublished local history
- refine tooling plus shell and script selection/validation guidance
Emphasize safety precedence in the intro, and replace the narrow Bash pipeline ban with a trigger-based rule: keep POSIX shell as glue and move to Nushell or Python once quoting, error handling, parsing, types, retries, or portability are involved.
