+# Changelog
+
+All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.
+
+The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.1.0/),
+and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html).
+
+## [0.1.0] - 2026-11-05
+
+### Added
+
+- `/warden holds [n]` (default 20): the newest hold-log records, newest
+  first (`at · conv · tool · action · outcome`), rendered from the log's
+  redacted `call` field; a missing log answers "no holds recorded".
+- Operator README: the routing matrix, every setting with its default,
+  the no-decision-model behaviour, what reaches the decision model
+  (all redacted), the cards commands, the `ask_user_question` interplay,
+  and the explicit not-built list.
+
+- Extension scaffold: factory declares the `sigrun.warden` extension with
+  the `warden.confirm` interaction kind and an empty `ToolTask` hook.
+- Settings parsing (`parseSettings`): spec defaults, per-key fallback with
+  once-per-key-per-process warnings.
+- Classification (`classify`): the §3.1 order — deny rules, core read-only
+  names, bash via pi-warden's `isReadOnlyCommand`/`matchPatterns` (raw
+  command, never pre-stripped), MCP annotations lookup
+  (`mcp.tool-annotations`; absent provider → destructive), hold rules,
+  allow. Warn rules surface matched patterns without changing the verdict.
+- Hold log (`HoldLog`): JSONL at `paths.state/holds.jsonl` with `append`,
+  `recent(n)`, and retention split `prune({calls, holds})`.
+- Anchored glob matcher (`globToRegExp`): `*` only, anchored, matching
+  within a segment (`?` and `**` are literal).
+- Operator guard: bash commands containing `< & | ; \` $(` skip the
+  read-only fast path and land bash-unknown — a fail-closed widening.

-# Temporary Holding Version
+# @sigrun/warden
 
-This version is a temporary placeholder for this package. An operational version to replace this has been submitted for review and is awaiting a staged release.
+Guardrail extension for [sigrun](https://github.com/sigrun-ai/sigrun):
+action classification, holds, and judge-backed confirmations — the
+sigrun port of pi-warden's checks, running against pi-warden itself
+(`pi-warden` is a runtime dependency).
+
+The warden sits on the `ToolTask` hook (`beforeTool` / `afterTool`) and
+decides what happens to every model-issued tool call, by **presence**:
+
+| presence | what a destructive call does |
+|---|---|
+| **live** (a person is in the conversation) | judged (clear-ask); a vague ask steers the model; an ignored steer — or a judge-free destructive call — seeds a `warden.confirm` interaction and the call waits for the person. Allow runs it; deny refuses it with the reason. |
+| **job** (a scheduled job's run) | one-shot grants first (an answered escalation approves one execution); then clearances: a cleared `{job, tool}` runs **only** after the per-target card check passes; everything else blocks and escalates. |
+| **internal** (a curator review run) | blocked outright. No escalation. |
+
+`deny` rules block in every presence. `warn` rules never change the
+verdict; they log a `warn` record. An unrecognized shell command
+(`bash-unknown`) is judged for irreversibility: over the
+`thresholds.irreversible` score it is treated as destructive; in a job
+it fails closed (block + escalate). A judge failure or a disabled judge
+never silently allows: live falls to the interaction hold, jobs block +
+escalate, cleared calls block + escalate.
+
+## No decision model
+
+When no decision provider answers (no provider configured, the provider
+unreachable, or `judge.enabled: false`):
+
+- **annotations still hold** — MCP tools annotated destructive are
+  destructive, annotated read-only / non-destructive are allowed;
+- **the bash floor holds** — pi-warden's `isReadOnlyCommand` /
+  `matchPatterns` run regardless (raw command, never pre-stripped);
+- **user rules hold** — `deny` still blocks, `warn` still logs;
+- **live** holds a destructive call on a `warden.confirm` question
+  (bash-unknown is allowed offline, pi-warden's own behaviour);
+- **jobs** block + escalate, including cleared calls (the card check
+  cannot run);
+- **nothing autonomous runs unjudged** — the card check, the clear-ask
+  judgment, and approval-on-reply all need a judge; without one every
+  job presence fails closed.
+
+## What the decision model sees
+
+Everything sent to the decision model is **redacted first** (pi-warden's
+`redact`): the tool call's arguments, the request text, the person's
+replies, card text, and tool output. The hold log (`holds.jsonl`) stores
+the same redacted call JSON.
+
+## Settings
+
+Read from the extension's scoped settings file
+(`<configDir>/settings/sigrun-warden.json`), re-read on every tool call. Every
+invalid key falls back to its default with one `console.warn` naming the
+key (once per key per process).
+
+```jsonc
+{
+  "judge": { "enabled": true },               // false: no judge calls at all
+  "decisionModel": "provider/model",          // optional; default: core's decisions model
+  "thresholds": {
+    "clearAsk": 0.7,                          // >= this: a clearly-named live call runs
+    "card": 0.7,                              // >= this meets AND < escalate for a cleared job call
+    "irreversible": 0.9                       // >= this: bash-unknown counts as destructive
+  },
+  "clearances": [
+    { "job": "ext:acme:cleanup", "tools": ["acme-media/torrents_remove"] }
+  ],
+  "rules": [
+    { "match": "command", "pattern": "rm *", "level": "hold" },
+    { "match": "tool", "pattern": "acme-media/torrents_*", "level": "deny" },
+    { "match": "path", "pattern": "secrets/*", "level": "warn" }
+  ],
+  "cardModel": "provider/model",              // optional; default: core's utility role
+  "steerBudget": 3,                           // steers per run before the warden asks the person itself
+  "retentionDays": { "calls": 90, "holds": 365 }
+}
+```
+
+Rule patterns are anchored `*`-only globs; `*` matches any run within a
+segment (`?` and `**` are literal). `command` matches the raw command
+string, `tool` the tool name, `path` any string argument.
+
+## Cards
+
+A card is a compact rule digest (≤ 8 KiB) of one skill body, built once
+per body hash by `host.models.complete` and stored under the warden's
+data root (`cards/<sha256>.json`). Builds are single-flight per hash and
+run in the background when a skill body enters a run (a `load_skill`
+result, a `read` of a `SKILL.md`, or a `<skill>` block in a prompt). The
+per-target card check consults the cards of the skills seen in the run
+whose text names the tool — a cleared job call with no governing card
+blocks + escalates.
+
+- `/warden cards` — list cards (`skill · hash · builtAt · model`).
+- `/warden card <skill>` — the newest card's text.
+- `/warden card <skill> --rebuild` — rebuild from the newest copy seen
+  in this conversation (newest-first page, so a skill loaded late in a
+  long run is found).
+- `/warden holds [n]` — the newest `n` hold-log records (default 20),
+  newest first: `at · conv <id> · tool · action · outcome`.
+
+## `ask_user_question`
+
+The vague-ask steer names `ask_user_question` unconditionally ("with
+ask_user_question if you have it"): a hook cannot see the conversation's
+tool list, so the text is the same whether or not the tool is installed.
+When it is, an **answered** `ask_user_question` tool result counts as
+the person's reply for approval-on-reply — the warden reads the run's
+entries and treats the result's text like a user message.
+
+## What the warden is not
+
+Not built (deliberately, this release):
+
+- **runaway detection** — no loop/runaway watchdog;
+- **off-task judging** — no "is this call what the user asked" scoring;
+- **code review** — nothing judges diff or patch quality;
+- **`ask_user_question` itself** — the warden never owns the question
+  surface; it only consumes its answered results.
+
+## Development

+/**
+ * Task 15 afterTool guards, run AFTER the Task 13 card build and the
+ * Task 11 grant resolution in `index.ts`:
+ *
+ * 1. Masking — `redact` every text part of the result; a replaced result
+ *    is returned only when something actually changed.
+ * 2. Planted instructions — results of MCP tools (`/` in the name) and
+ *    of any tool whose text output exceeds 200 chars are asked the
+ *    pi-warden `securityQuestion` (over the redacted text). A firing
+ *    judgment TAINTS the run (`state.tainted = true`) and appends the
+ *    planted-instructions notice. With no decision model the check is
+ *    skipped (masking still runs). A THROWN judgment is treated like
+ *    no-model for that call — the check could not run, so it is skipped
+ *    (no taint): the Cooldown counts the failure through the shared
+ *    decisionsJudge, and the masking + the rest of the warden still
+ *    guard. (Fail-open for the DETECTION, by design — the taint itself
+ *    is a state mutation the caller can never see, so a judge outage
+ *    silently tainting every long output would be worse.)
+ * 3. Stuck — `makeAttempt` into a per-run `AttemptWindow`; when
+ *    `exactRepeats() >= 3` on a failing attempt (code only, no judge)
+ *    the stuck notice is appended.
+ *
+ * Both notices are non-critical: each counts against the run's
+ * `steerBudget`; past the budget the notice goes to the hold log only
+ * (the appended text is dropped). The TAINT itself always lands — the
+ * state mutation is not budgeted, only the notice text is.
