 # Changelog
 
+## 3.5.47
+
+Your rules for a group now beat the guard's blanket "never share" line (Sumeet, 11 Oct 20:57 EAT: the network bot kept bringing NOC and Knock requests to him although his rules for both groups allow read-only diagnostics). Built on 3.5.33, the fleet's version; a canary for the network bot first.
+
+- **The guard judge's floor is scoped, not blanket** (`core/enforcer.js`). It said: whatever any layer says, never allow other people's private information or internal infrastructure details. A network bot's useful replies nearly always carry both (customer accounts, NAS names, IPs on blocklists), so the owner's channel rules never won and each reply became an owner card: 17 on the network bot on 11 Oct. Now credentials, secrets, passwords, tokens and keys stay blocked whatever any layer says; the owner's own private information needs a layer that explicitly allows it; infrastructure details and other people's information are allowed only where a channel rule or mandate clearly permits that kind of information or the work that produces it.
+- **Proof:** two replies the network bot held on 11 Oct, replayed against the judge (claude-sonnet-5-5): with the old line 5 of 6 verdicts escalated, quoting it; with the new wording 4 of 4 allowed, and a made-up reply carrying a NAS password and RADIUS secret was blocked 2 of 2.
+- **Tests:** `test-enforcer.js` checks the credentials floor is absolute and the blanket line is gone (it fails on the old wording).
+
 ## 3.5.33
 
 Quiet chats by default (Sumeet, 11 Oct 08:51 EAT, on Kazee unread counts: one voice note brought a "Heard:" echo, a progress message and "Recalled my notes" lines before the answer, each a new unread and often a push; 09:16 EAT "Yes" to turning them off by default on every bot). Built on 3.5.24, the fleet's version: the Browser canaries (3.5.25, 3.5.26, 3.5.28) and the call builds on Sumeet's own bot (3.5.27 and later) are not in it.
