Executive snapshot

Operators shipping public chatbot guardrails need deterministic controls around probabilistic steps—validators, budgets, and audit logs before tools execute in production.

Pilot outcome: run the local dry-run demo, review prompt templates, and bring stack questions to your Architecture Mapping Session.

Constraint	Blueprint answer
Abuse / cost	Fail-closed Python gates with rule_id trace
Audit	Append-only decision log per request_id
Week one	Local eval harness + architecture diagram review

Hero architecture

Request → reasoning tier (structured plan)
       → validate_pre()  [FAIL CLOSED]
       → worker / tools
       → validate_post() [FAIL CLOSED]
       → human gate (tiered)
       → log
