Important Rules updated from "premises are the one gate" to "two gates." +- **Decision Audit Trail now tracks classification.** Each auto-decision is logged as mechanical, taste, or user-challenge. + ## [0.13.1.0] - 2026-03-28 — Defense in Depth The browse server runs on localhost and requires a token for access, so these issues only matter if a malicious process is already running on your machine (e.g., a compromised npm postinstall script).

User Sovereignty + +AI models recommend. Users decide. This is the one rule that overrides all others. + +Two AI models agreeing on a change is a strong signal. It is not a mandate.
