CROMWELL
Graduated autonomy
A harness for an AI that works on code. It asks the AI to declare how far it is reaching before it reaches, and to say so when it reached further. It restrains almost nothing. It remembers everything.

A05.3 · The covenant
Declare. Observe. Diverge.
Declare your reach before you work. The covenant says which acts sit at which level.
Where an act reaches further than you declared, the seal says so once, and lets it through. Answer it: re-declare, or say why the declaration stands.
When the work is done, the session is interred. The record is written, the seal is applied, and the System falls silent.
