+ * `match`, appears in no log, and fails no test. `toAgentFactory` compiled the `compiled.hitl` map

+ * The permissive posture remains entirely expressible — as a NAMED VALUE, with a written reason.
+ * What stops existing is the omission.
+ *
+ * ## Os peers
+ *
+ * `codex` models the posture as a four-variant `enum AskForApproval` in the protocol crate, and
+ * makes forgetting it a compile error through the `ToolRuntime: Approvable + Sandboxable` supertrait;
+ * a mandatory field is the closest this type system gets to that. `codex` also resolves the
+ * ambiguity of omission in the safe direction (`GranularApprovalConfig`: an absent field is
+ * auto-REJECTED, never auto-approved), and names the human's stand-in rather than inferring it from

+ * what the caller receives, and a failing `dispose` never replaces it.
+ *
+ * A cleanup that threw over a successful run would report a teardown error for work that actually
+ * succeeded. Worse, a cleanup that threw over a FAILED run would replace the real failure with the
+ * teardown one, and the diagnosis the caller needed is gone. That asymmetry is precisely what the
+ * two hand-written call sites got wrong, each with its own bug-fix comment about `finally`.
+ *
+ * The disposal error is not silently swallowed either — it is reported through `onDisposeError`, so
+ * a leak is observable without competing with the result.

- * M68 — the trust gate for `settingSources`.
- *
- * ## The defect this module closes
- *
- * `settingSources` enables on-disk config discovery. `'user'` reads `~/.theokit/` — the operator's
- * own machine, which no third party controls. `'project'` reads `<cwd>/.theokit/`, **including
- * `hooks.json`, which executes shell**.
- *
- * The previous API took `readonly SettingSource[]`, and its JSDoc justified the risk this way:
- * *"it is opt-in because `.theokit/` is the app's own repo (informed consent)"*. That premise holds
- * for a web app whose `cwd` is its own deploy. It does **not** hold for the class of product this
- * framework addresses — an agent whose `cwd` is a repository the user just cloned. There `.theokit/`
- * is attacker-controlled content, and enabling `'project'` is remote code execution on the first
- * `build()`.
- *
- * Documenting it did not prevent it. The measured consumer (TheoCode) did not trust the API: it
- * gated from the outside, with a `posture.allows` of its own (`chat.ts:386`, comment B-008). It
- * already **had** the right decision and could not pass it through, because the API only accepted
- * strings. The gate existed on its side and evaporated at the boundary.
- *
- * ## The evidence is the SDK's, not one invented here
- *
- * `TrustPosture` is `@theokit/sdk`'s own trust primitive, and `recordWiring`'s doc says *"a posture
- * is the only thing in this package that retains a capability"*. A bespoke type would make two trust
- * grammars coexist and drift apart (ADR 0063).
- */
-/**
- * The framework's capability vocabulary — deliberately a single name (ADR 0065).
- *
- * `allows` is all-or-nothing in the SDK: every declared `K` gets the same boolean. A finer
- * vocabulary (`hooks`, `skills`, `subagents`, `mcp`) would promise the consumer it can gate one
- * without gating the other, and the primitive does not deliver that. An API that suggests a
- * distinction the runtime does not make teaches the wrong thing, and the error only surfaces when
