+
+Record what your AI agent actually does, then get the narrowest [Tenuo](https://github.com/tenuo-ai/tenuo) warrant
+that still allows it: signed, per step, per sub-agent, with tests that keep it honest in CI.
+
+Writing least-privilege warrants by hand is the slow part of adopting Tenuo. A real Temporal agent needed ~290 lines
+of hand-written warrant, key and audit code. warrantgen infers the same constraints from recorded runs, and on that
+agent's held-out runs it allows every legitimate call and denies every injected secret read.
+
+Try it in five commands, no network or account: [examples/demo](https://github.com/RajanChavada/warrantgen/blob/main/examples/demo/README.md) records a small agent,
+infers its warrants, and stops a prompt injection the agent fell for.
+
+For actions that can't be undone, [examples/refund-agent](https://github.com/RajanChavada/warrantgen/blob/main/examples/refund-agent/README.md) caps refunds to recorded
+behavior, gates each one behind a signed human approval, and runs 16 failure scenarios: injection, approval bypass,
+expired approvals, malformed arguments, timeouts.
+
+## How it works
+
+```mermaid
+flowchart TD
+    A["Your agent<br/>LangGraph or Temporal"] -- "Recorder<br/>(no warrant needed)" --> T[("traces.jsonl")]
+    T --> Q{"Quarantine runs that touched<br/>.env · .. · keys · metadata IPs"}
+    Q -- "clean runs" --> I["infer<br/>rules per step"]
+    I --> W["Signed warrant<br/>warrantgen.mint"]
+    I --> Y["tenuo-cli template<br/>warrantgen template"]
+    I --> C["Per-hop delegation chain<br/>warrantgen chain"]
+    I --> P["pytest tests<br/>warrantgen test"]
+```
+
+1. **Record** tool calls with a LangChain callback or Tenuo's Temporal `audit_callback`. Each call is tagged with its
+   run and its step (a LangGraph node path, or the warrant that checked it on Temporal).
+2. **Quarantine** any run that touched a secret file, a `..` path or a private host. It is never learned from.
+3. **Infer** one rule per argument from several runs: what's fixed, what changes per run, what's free text.
+4. **Use** the rules: mint a warrant, write a `tenuo-cli` template, mint a delegation chain, or generate tests.
+
+## What inference looks like
+
+Rules inferred from 15 recorded runs of a real agent on 3 sites, next to the warrant its authors wrote by hand
+(the `fetch.url` row comes from the LangGraph example):
+
+| Argument | Recorded values | Inferred rule | Hand-written warrant |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `repo` | one per run: `acme/site`, `northside/bakery-web`, ... | per-run value → `Exact` | `Exact(repo)` |
+| `path` | this run's files | per-run list → `OneOf` | `OneOf(paths)` |
+| `branch` | `fixagent/agent-20261018-014809`, ... | per-run value (or `Pattern("fixagent/*")`) | `Pattern("fixagent/*")` |
+| `size` | 1 to 503 | `Range(0, 1000)` (rounded headroom) | `Range(max=20000)` |
+| `text`, `message`, `body` | free text | `Wildcard` | `Wildcard` |
+| `read_file.path` | files under `public/`, `web/` | under those folders, minus secrets and `..` | the same `All([...])` shape |
+| `fetch.url` | pages on `docs.python.org/3/library/` | `UrlPattern(".../3/library/*")` | n/a |
+
+Reads generalize to their folders or URL prefix (several hosts become `AnyOf` of one `UrlPattern` per host); writes keep
+their exact files. Money-like arguments (`amount`, `price`, `cents`, ...) never get headroom.
+
+## Per-hop delegation chains
+
+When a LangGraph supervisor hands work to sub-agents, `warrantgen chain` builds one warrant per hop from the recorded
+node paths. Every child is minted from its parent through Tenuo's own delegation API, so Tenuo checks that each hop only
+narrows.
+
+```mermaid
+flowchart TD
+    R["root, signed by the issuer<br/>search · fetch · write_file"]
+    R --> T["team<br/>search · fetch"]
+    T --> S["team/researcher<br/>search · fetch under docs.python.org/3/library/"]
+    R --> W["writer<br/>write_file: this run's report only"]
+    S -.-x SD["write_file: denied"]
+    W -.-x WD["fetch: denied"]
+```
+
+Tested under real `TenuoTool` enforcement with full chains: each sub-agent runs its recorded calls, and none can use a
+sibling's tools. If Tenuo refuses to narrow an argument, it keeps its parent's constraint and `chain` says which.
+
+## Results on a real agent
+
+The test agent is a Temporal workflow that opens pull requests to fix a website, minting one warrant per phase. 15
+recorded runs: 3 sites × 5 behaviors, including a prompt injection that tries to read `.env` and
+`../payments-api/.env`. Details in [examples/seo-agent](https://github.com/RajanChavada/warrantgen/blob/main/examples/seo-agent/README.md).
+
+| Check | Result |
+|---|---|
+| Held-out replay (infer from 14 runs, replay the 15th through Tenuo's authorizer) | **186/186** legitimate calls allowed, **6/6** injected reads denied |
+| Same replay with read paths deliberately unconstrained | 0/6 denied (the replay can fail) |
+| Through `tenuo-cli` (`template validate` + `warrant issue`) | 41 templates issued, 87/87 calls allowed; 2 of 5 steps need template features proposed in [tenuo#959](https://github.com/tenuo-ai/tenuo/issues/959) |
+| Generated tests against the agent's **hand-written** warrants | 40/44 at first: 4 places looser than recorded behavior. After pinning the branch: 43/44, `size` kept loose on purpose |
+
+## Quickstart
+
+```bash
+pip install "warrantgen[langchain] @ git+https://github.com/RajanChavada/warrantgen"
+```
+
+Record (several runs with different inputs: one run can't tell a fixed value from a per-run one):
+
+```python
+# LangChain or LangGraph
+from warrantgen.record_langchain import Recorder
+graph.invoke(state, {"callbacks": [Recorder("traces.jsonl")]})
+
+# Temporal, through Tenuo's plugin (dry_run=True with a broad warrant to observe)
+from warrantgen.record_temporal import TemporalRecorder
+TenuoPluginConfig(..., audit_callback=TemporalRecorder("traces.jsonl"))
+```
+
+Then:
+
+```bash
+warrantgen infer traces.jsonl                          # rules per step, plus quarantined runs
+warrantgen template traces.jsonl --step write --set repo=acme/site --set paths=a.txt,b.txt --out write.yaml
+tenuo-cli warrant issue --template write.yaml --holder agent
+warrantgen chain traces.jsonl --from-run RUN           # per-hop tree, minted and checked by Tenuo
+warrantgen test traces.jsonl --out test_warrants.py    # recorded calls allowed, near-misses denied
+```
+
+In Python: `warrantgen.infer`, `warrantgen.mint`, `warrantgen.chain.mint_chains`. Pass `gates=["issue_refund"]` and
+`approvers=[key.public_key]` to `mint` to require a signed approval on every call to those tools.
+
+### Test the warrants you ship
+
+```bash
+warrantgen test traces.jsonl --warrant-for my_warrants:warrant_for --known-looser size --out tests/test_recorded_calls.py
+```
+
+The generated file imports your `warrant_for(step, values, issuer, holder_public_key)` instead of warrantgen, so you can
+commit it with only `tenuo` and `pytest` as dependencies. Each step's recorded calls must be allowed, and near-misses
+must be denied: one argument just outside its rule, or a tool the step never used. `--known-looser` marks arguments you
+loosen on purpose as strict expected failures, so tightening one later flags the stale mark.
+
+## Rules
+
+| Rule | Inferred when | Tenuo constraint | Generated near-misses |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| exact | one value everywhere | `Exact` (numbers: `Range(n, n)`) | another value |
+| per-run value | one value per run, different across runs | `Exact`, filled at mint time | another value |
+| per-run list | a list that changes per run | `OneOf`, filled at mint time | a value not in the list |
+| range | numbers | `Range`, rounded headroom | max + 1 |
+| folders | path argument of a read tool | `All([folders, Not(secret), Not(..)])` | `.env`, `../`, another folder |
+| URL prefix | URL argument of a read tool | `UrlPattern`, or `AnyOf` per host | another host, `..` climb |
+| prefix | strings sharing a `/`-delimited prefix | `Pattern` | outside the prefix |
+| subset | lists of items | `Subset` | an item outside the set |
+| any | free text (whitespace or long) | `Wildcard` | none |
+
+Override a guess with `--var ARG` (treat as per-run) or `--exact ARG` (pin it).
+
+## Status
+
+Early and opinionated. Built and tested against `tenuo==0.3.2` and the local-cli stack (tenuo#942 to #952).
+Limits and the Tenuo issues found along the way are tracked in [UPSTREAM.md](https://github.com/RajanChavada/warrantgen/blob/main/UPSTREAM.md).

+1. **Record** tool calls with a LangChain callback or Tenuo's Temporal `audit_callback`. Each call is tagged with its
+   run and its step (a LangGraph node path, or the warrant that checked it on Temporal).
+2. **Quarantine** any run that touched a secret file, a `..` path or a private host. It is never learned from.
+3. **Infer** one rule per argument from several runs: what's fixed, what changes per run, what's free text.
+4. **Use** the rules: mint a warrant, write a `tenuo-cli` template, mint a delegation chain, or generate tests.
+
+## What inference looks like
+
+Rules inferred from 15 recorded runs of a real agent on 3 sites, next to the warrant its authors wrote by hand
+(the `fetch.url` row comes from the LangGraph example):
+
+| Argument | Recorded values | Inferred rule | Hand-written warrant |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `repo` | one per run: `acme/site`, `northside/bakery-web`, ... | per-run value → `Exact` | `Exact(repo)` |
+| `path` | this run's files | per-run list → `OneOf` | `OneOf(paths)` |
+| `branch` | `fixagent/agent-20261018-014809`, ... | per-run value (or `Pattern("fixagent/*")`) | `Pattern("fixagent/*")` |
+| `size` | 1 to 503 | `Range(0, 1000)` (rounded headroom) | `Range(max=20000)` |
+| `text`, `message`, `body` | free text | `Wildcard` | `Wildcard` |
+| `read_file.path` | files under `public/`, `web/` | under those folders, minus secrets and `..` | the same `All([...])` shape |
+| `fetch.url` | pages on `docs.python.org/3/library/` | `UrlPattern(".../3/library/*")` | n/a |
+
+Reads generalize to their folders or URL prefix (several hosts become `AnyOf` of one `UrlPattern` per host); writes keep
+their exact files. Money-like arguments (`amount`, `price`, `cents`, ...) never get headroom.
+
+## Per-hop delegation chains
+
+When a LangGraph supervisor hands work to sub-agents, `warrantgen chain` builds one warrant per hop from the recorded
+node paths. Every child is minted from its parent through Tenuo's own delegation API, so Tenuo checks that each hop only
+narrows.
+
+```mermaid
+flowchart TD
+    R["root, signed by the issuer<br/>search · fetch · write_file"]
+    R --> T["team<br/>search · fetch"]
+    T --> S["team/researcher<br/>search · fetch under docs.python.org/3/library/"]
+    R --> W["writer<br/>write_file: this run's report only"]
+    S -.-x SD["write_file: denied"]
+    W -.-x WD["fetch: denied"]
+```
+
+Tested under real `TenuoTool` enforcement with full chains: each sub-agent runs its recorded calls, and none can use a
+sibling's tools. If Tenuo refuses to narrow an argument, it keeps its parent's constraint and `chain` says which.
+
+## Results on a real agent
+
+The test agent is a Temporal workflow that opens pull requests to fix a website, minting one warrant per phase. 15
+recorded runs: 3 sites × 5 behaviors, including a prompt injection that tries to read `.env` and
+`../payments-api/.env`. Details in [examples/seo-agent](https://github.com/RajanChavada/warrantgen/blob/main/examples/seo-agent/README.md).
+
+| Check | Result |
+|---|---|
+| Held-out replay (infer from 14 runs, replay the 15th through Tenuo's authorizer) | **186/186** legitimate calls allowed, **6/6** injected reads denied |
+| Same replay with read paths deliberately unconstrained | 0/6 denied (the replay can fail) |
+| Through `tenuo-cli` (`template validate` + `warrant issue`) | 41 templates issued, 87/87 calls allowed; 2 of 5 steps need template features proposed in [tenuo#959](https://github.com/tenuo-ai/tenuo/issues/959) |
+| Generated tests against the agent's **hand-written** warrants | 40/44 at first: 4 places looser than recorded behavior. After pinning the branch: 43/44, `size` kept loose on purpose |
+
+## Quickstart
+
+```bash
+pip install "warrantgen[langchain] @ git+https://github.com/RajanChavada/warrantgen"
+```
+
+Record (several runs with different inputs: one run can't tell a fixed value from a per-run one):
+
+```python
+# LangChain or LangGraph
+from warrantgen.record_langchain import Recorder
+graph.invoke(state, {"callbacks": [Recorder("traces.jsonl")]})
+
+# Temporal, through Tenuo's plugin (dry_run=True with a broad warrant to observe)
+from warrantgen.record_temporal import TemporalRecorder
+TenuoPluginConfig(..., audit_callback=TemporalRecorder("traces.jsonl"))
+```
+
+Then:
+
+```bash
+warrantgen infer traces.jsonl                          # rules per step, plus quarantined runs
+warrantgen template traces.jsonl --step write --set repo=acme/site --set paths=a.txt,b.txt --out write.yaml
+tenuo-cli warrant issue --template write.yaml --holder agent
+warrantgen chain traces.jsonl --from-run RUN           # per-hop tree, minted and checked by Tenuo
+warrantgen test traces.jsonl --out test_warrants.py    # recorded calls allowed, near-misses denied
+```
+
+In Python: `warrantgen.infer`, `warrantgen.mint`, `warrantgen.chain.mint_chains`. Pass `gates=["issue_refund"]` and
+`approvers=[key.public_key]` to `mint` to require a signed approval on every call to those tools.
+
+### Test the warrants you ship
+
+```bash
+warrantgen test traces.jsonl --warrant-for my_warrants:warrant_for --known-looser size --out tests/test_recorded_calls.py
+```
+
+The generated file imports your `warrant_for(step, values, issuer, holder_public_key)` instead of warrantgen, so you can
+commit it with only `tenuo` and `pytest` as dependencies. Each step's recorded calls must be allowed, and near-misses
+must be denied: one argument just outside its rule, or a tool the step never used. `--known-looser` marks arguments you
+loosen on purpose as strict expected failures, so tightening one later flags the stale mark.
+
+## Rules
+
+| Rule | Inferred when | Tenuo constraint | Generated near-misses |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| exact | one value everywhere | `Exact` (numbers: `Range(n, n)`) | another value |
+| per-run value | one value per run, different across runs | `Exact`, filled at mint time | another value |
+| per-run list | a list that changes per run | `OneOf`, filled at mint time | a value not in the list |
+| range | numbers | `Range`, rounded headroom | max + 1 |
+| folders | path argument of a read tool | `All([folders, Not(secret), Not(..)])` | `.env`, `../`, another folder |
+| URL prefix | URL argument of a read tool | `UrlPattern`, or `AnyOf` per host | another host, `..` climb |
+| prefix | strings sharing a `/`-delimited prefix | `Pattern` | outside the prefix |
+| subset | lists of items | `Subset` | an item outside the set |
+| any | free text (whitespace or long) | `Wildcard` | none |
+
+Override a guess with `--var ARG` (treat as per-run) or `--exact ARG` (pin it).
+
+## Status
+
+Early and opinionated. Built and tested against `tenuo==0.3.2` and the local-cli stack (tenuo#942 to #952).
+Limits and the Tenuo issues found along the way are tracked in [UPSTREAM.md](https://github.com/RajanChavada/warrantgen/blob/main/UPSTREAM.md).
