Glossary

Kernel

Deterministic local enforcement core that evaluates source on the write path and returns allow or block decisions.

Rule

Deterministic check that evaluates source structure and returns a structured decision with optional violations.

Violation

A structured finding produced by a failing rule, including rule id, reason, and optional source location evidence.

Save Path

Execution path between an edit action and file persistence where enforcement can intercept before disk write completion.

Enforce Mode

Operating mode where rule failures block the write path.

Shadow Mode

Operating mode where rule failures are recorded but do not block the write path.

AST Node

A structural element in the parsed syntax tree representing source constructs such as declarations, literals, calls, and imports.

Scope

Explicit boundary of what a rule or subsystem is designed to evaluate and what it intentionally excludes.

Safe Function

Function or access pattern explicitly allowed by policy because it retrieves or handles sensitive values without hardcoding them.

Hardcoded Secret

Credential-like value embedded directly in source as a literal rather than read from an approved secret source.

Boundary

Declared relationship constraints defining which modules or services may import which internal or public surfaces.

Deterministic

Property where the same input and rule set always produce the same output.

Local-First

Design principle requiring critical enforcement behavior to work offline without network dependency.
