• Tells every agent, when its session starts: "A legal hold is in force. Do not delete, overwrite, move or rename any document, email or file that could be evidence. If a task needs to, stop and ask your user first."
• Tells every agent, when its session starts: "Keep a list of every document you open, and say at the end which ones you read."

Peregrini chose this publisher. It has not checked each rule. A book cannot vary the Mandate, and no instruction in it permits anything the Mandate reserves to your own permission lines. Its blocks are added to yours: where two books block different things, both apply. Where its instructions conflict with your own, the agent says so and asks.
