 Treat contracts as project-specific invariants. Do not repeat deterministic findings. Separate
 violations from recommendations and include severity, file, evidence, explanation, and remediation.
 If evidence is insufficient, say so instead of guessing. Do not infer redacted secrets.

+
+## AI host workflow
+
+Install a managed instruction block for the host that will author code:
+
+```bash
+codapult-guard install-agent codex
+codapult-guard install-agent cursor
+```
+
+The host should read context, prepare a review packet, run verification, repair failures, and repeat
+within the configured completion-gate limit. Guard does not invoke an LLM and does not edit source.
+
+## CI and pull requests
+
+Copy [`guard-ci.yml`](guard-ci.yml) into the consumer project. It runs the completion gate and exports
+SARIF for GitHub Code Scanning. For PR-specific semantic context, run:
+
+```bash
+codapult-guard review --base origin/main --json > guard-review.json
+```
+
+The JSON packet can be supplied to an approved AI reviewer by the host workflow. The packet is
+bounded and redacted; it is not an automatic approval.
+
+## External tools
+
+Configure only tools the project already owns in `.codapult/guard/agent.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "tooling": {
+    "sast": { "script": "sast", "enabled": true },
+    "secret-scanning": { "script": "secrets:check", "enabled": true },
+    "dependency-audit": { "script": "audit", "enabled": true }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+`tools: auto` discovers conventional scripts. `tools: on` makes missing configured adapters fail the
+gate when `strict` verification is also enabled. The adapter output is bounded and redacted.
+
+## Run observability
+
+Every `verify` run records a local manifest under `.codapult/guard/history/runs/`. Consumers can use
+the public API:
+
+```ts
+import { listGuardRuns, summarizeGuardRuns } from '@codapult/guard';
+
+const recent = listGuardRuns(process.cwd(), 20);
+const summary = summarizeGuardRuns(process.cwd());
+```
+
+The records expose outcome, blocking gate, stage durations, command durations, and Git commit when
+available. They are intended for local diagnostics and CI artifacts, not as a hosted telemetry
+service.
+
+## What remains outside Guard
+
+Guard does not become an IDE, PR chatbot, LLM provider, identity provider, dependency scanner, or
+cloud control plane. Those are integration surfaces around the Guard facts, policy, and verification
+result.

+# Guard agent integration
+
+Guard is the deterministic project gate and context provider. The host AI agent owns the repair
+loop and must decide whether it is allowed to edit files.
+
+Recommended host flow:
+
+```text
+task finished
+  -> codapult_guard_next_action
+  -> codapult_guard_context
+  -> codapult_guard_review (requirement + diff)
+  -> codapult_guard_verify
+  -> if error and canRetry: edit, then repeat with iteration + 1
+  -> report warnings and unresolved requirements
+```
+
+For a new project, use `codapult_guard_init` with `confirm: true`. Proposal persistence and
+proposal activation also require explicit confirmation; stale proposals must be regenerated.
+Every Guard MCP tool accepts an optional `root` when the MCP process is not started in the project
+directory.
+
+The equivalent CLI call is:
+
+```bash
+codapult-guard verify --json
+```
+
+Read `.codapult/guard/agent.json` before starting the loop. `completionGate.enabled` controls
+whether the host enables the loop, `maxIterations` bounds repair attempts, `projectChecks` controls
+lint/typecheck/test/build, and `tools` controls external adapters (`auto`, `on`, or `off`). Guard
+does not invoke an LLM or modify source files itself.
+
+Install the managed instruction block for a host when you want the workflow persisted in the
+project:
+
+```bash
+codapult-guard install-agent cursor
+codapult-guard install-agent all
+```
+
+The command updates only the block between `codapult-guard:start` and `codapult-guard:end` and
+preserves unrelated instructions. Supported targets are `generic`, `codex`, `cursor`, `claude`,
+`copilot`, and `gemini`.
+
+Host-specific MCP configuration and completion hooks are documented in the
+[host integration kits](integrations/README.md). Guard does not invoke an LLM or modify source
+files itself.
+
+For CI, run the same verification independently after the agent finishes. Do not treat an agent's
+claim that it fixed a finding as a passing result; use the next Guard report as the source of truth.

+# Guard fixture matrix
+
+The fixture matrix is a maintainer smoke test for project shapes that are not represented by the
+Codapult application itself. Clone the repositories into a sibling workspace directory named
+`guard-fixtures/`; the directory is disposable and is never shipped with the CLI.
+
+Current fixtures:
+
+| Shape                               | Fixture                          |
+| ----------------------------------- | -------------------------------- |
+| Next.js App Router / pnpm workspace | `vercel/next-learn`              |
+| Vite + React + TypeScript           | `simerlec/vite-react-ts-starter` |
+| Hono Node.js/TypeScript package     | `honojs/node-server`             |
+| pnpm monorepo                       | `changesets/changesets`          |
+| JavaScript-only package             | `expressjs/express`              |
+
+Run the smoke matrix after building the CLI:
+
+```bash
+GUARD_FIXTURES_ROOT=../guard-fixtures pnpm test:guard:fixtures
+```
+
+The script initializes only fixtures without a baseline. Existing Guard state is never forcibly
+replaced. To run a subset:
+
+```bash
+GUARD_SMOKE_PROJECTS=next-learn,changesets pnpm test:guard:fixtures
+```
+
+The smoke gate checks that discovery can initialize each project, that all Guard artifacts pass
+`doctor`, and that architecture-only `verify` completes without project dependencies being
+installed. Dependency installation and the projects' own test/build commands remain separate
+checks.
+
+The mutation gate copies representative fixtures, injects a forbidden side-effect import, and
+requires Guard to report the new violation:
+
+```bash
+pnpm test:guard:fixtures:regression
+```
+
+Local adversarial fixtures cover aliases, re-exports, dynamic imports, workspace boundaries,
+package exports, and TypeScript project references:
+
+```bash
+pnpm test:guard:fixtures:adversarial
+```
+
+For a repeatable local suite, use the suite runner. It builds Guard once and then runs the
+existing scenario scripts without duplicating their checks:
+
+```bash
+pnpm test:guard:fixtures:all
+GUARD_FIXTURE_SUITES=smoke,regression,adversarial pnpm test:guard:fixtures:all
+```
+
+`native` is opt-in because it installs upstream dependencies. `pr` is opt-in because it clones a
+remote repository. Run every suite explicitly with `--all`; missing native/PR configuration is
+reported as skipped, or as a failure with `--strict`:
+
+```bash
+GUARD_NATIVE_INSTALL=1 \
+GUARD_PR_REPO=https://github.com/honojs/node-server \
+GUARD_PR_NUMBER=148 \
+pnpm test:guard:fixtures:full -- --strict
+```
+
+The suite returns a non-zero exit code for failures, so it can be called unchanged from local
+scripts or CI. Set `GUARD_FIXTURE_SUITES` to select a comma-separated subset and the existing
+`GUARD_KEEP_*_PROJECTS=1` variables to retain temporary projects for debugging.
+
+Concurrent Guard state writes are also covered by a dedicated integration harness. A writer may
+receive the structured, retryable `GUARD_STATE_BUSY` result, but every completed artifact must
+remain valid JSON:
+
+```bash
+GUARD_CONCURRENT_WRITERS=8 pnpm test:guard:concurrent
+```
+
+Native project commands are available only through the maintainer harness. They are not part of
+Guard and do not run in the normal smoke workflow:
+
+```bash
+GUARD_NATIVE_INSTALL=1 pnpm test:guard:fixtures:native
+```
+
+Use Node versions supported by each fixture. `GUARD_NATIVE_PROJECTS=changesets,express` limits the
+run. The harness preserves upstream manifests; it does not rewrite `engines` to make an unsupported
+runtime appear valid.
+
+Discovery also records nested workspace package boundaries in `project.json` under
+`project.workspacePackages`. During `verify`, root scripts remain authoritative; checks missing
+at the root are run in workspace packages that declare them, without duplicating root orchestration.
+
+For a full local audit after installing fixture dependencies, run the native project commands from
+each fixture. The current matrix covers Next.js lint/Prettier, Vite tests, Hono Node/TypeScript tests, and the
+full Changesets `check-all` (build, tests, typecheck, lint, Oxfmt). The Hono fixture replaces
+the former Node starter because that project had an obsolete `jws`/`buffer-equal-constant-time`
+dependency chain incompatible with current Node runtimes.
+
+## Performance benchmark
+
+Guard includes a generated large-monorepo benchmark. It does not install dependencies or modify
+the repository:
+
+```bash
+GUARD_BENCH_FILES=1000 GUARD_BENCH_RUNS=3 pnpm test:guard:benchmark
+```
+
+Set `GUARD_BENCH_MAX_MS` to turn the cold discovery time into a regression gate. The JSON output
+contains cold and warm timings, cache reuse, and discovered file/module counts.
+
+## Real pull requests
+
+Guard can review a real GitHub PR in an isolated temporary clone. It does not
+modify the upstream repository or add fixture files:
+
+```bash
+GUARD_PR_REPO=https://github.com/honojs/node-server \
+GUARD_PR_NUMBER=148 \
+pnpm test:guard:pr
+```
+
+The harness fetches the PR head and the repository default branch, initializes
+Guard in the temporary checkout, and runs `codapult-guard review --base ...`.
+Set `GUARD_PR_BASE` when the PR targets a non-default branch. Use
+`GUARD_KEEP_PR_PROJECT=1` to retain the checkout for investigation.
