Tasks and intent

Note

Guide: draft. The source build implements the current behavior below; remaining design work is marked explicitly.

A task declaration is a structured, human-confirmed statement of what an agent is working on: a description, constraints, and an expiry.

Intent binding

Intent binding checks an action against the constraints of the active task. Natural-language descriptions of intent are recorded but never evaluated.

The constraint set is closed:

Constraint	Meaning
`scope.paths`	Paths the agent may touch.
`forbid.action_types`	Action types the agent may not perform.
`allow.hosts`	Hosts the agent may contact.
`limits`	Counters for actions such as deletions.
`expires_at`	When the task ends.
`require_pending_for`	Action types that always need approval.

When a task expires, its constraints and any grants tied to it end.
