On the Record

What it does

• Stops recognised publishing commands (Git push and merge, GitHub CLI merge, Vercel production deployment and Court filings), even where your own push: or deploy: permission lines allow them.
• Tells every agent, when its session starts: "Never invent, compress or tidy a quotation. Quote exactly from a source you have, or paraphrase and say so."
• Tells every agent, when its session starts: "Attribute every factual claim to a named source or document, and flag anything you could not verify before it reaches an editor."
• Tells every agent, when its session starts: "Keep the names of confidential sources out of drafts, notes and files."

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.
