Governance blocks

A governance block is a reusable policy rule applied to a loop. Blocks compile into the final prompt the agent receives.

How blocks work

After intent analysis, recommended blocks light up. You can toggle them, author custom blocks, and persist a set per project. Blocks are composable — a global block, a workspace block, and a per-turn block can stack; the strictest setting wins.

What blocks govern

• Mandatory inspection before planning or editing.
• Anti-duplication — reuse before adding.
• Root-cause discipline — no patches that mask the cause.
• Security guardrails — changes to CSP, env masking, allowlist, or secrets are reported explicitly.
• Validation gates — typecheck, lint, test, build:renderer, smoke.
• Token mode — Save, Normal, Spend.
• Scope guards — do not touch unrelated areas.
