Reviewed as part of a bottom-up pass over the whole open stack (#119 to #168). Merging: a tier derived from the row beats one boolean set at checkbox time. This improves on master.

A shell wrapper hides the irreversible verb. isIrreversible walks the argv elements. It takes the last path element of each, so sudo rm and /bin/rm both resolve to rm. A shell invocation puts the whole command in one element:

Cmd: []string{"sh", "-c", "rm -rf /data"}

No element equals rm, so isIrreversible returns false. The row is not a house row and not an MCP row. With Destructive unticked it lands on TierSafe and runs on first hearing, with no confirm turn and no gap named.

The file says it is not a sandbox, and that is fair. Its actual claim is narrower: the one act nobody can walk back is the one act a spoken да cannot authorise. sh -c is the ordinary way to write such an act. Splitting each element on whitespace before the lookup would close it. The cost is firing on an argument that merely contains rm as a word.

Not a regression: a shell row with Destructive unticked runs freely on master too. Worth a follow-up task.

A list is a standing set of short strings under a tag. Not a task, because
milk is not work and the prioritiser must not count it as an errand; not a
fact, because it claims nothing. Nothing predicates over it, so two people
adding to the same list at once costs nothing.

Migration #19, plus AddListItem, ListItems, SetListItemStatus and ClearList.
The live-only unique index is the tasks one, per list: молоко twice before
the shop is one row, молоко again after it was crossed off is a new one.
Same posture as task capture and for the same reason: the intent enum is a
contract shared with the relabelling prompt, so a list is not an eighth
intent. It is a note-shaped or query-shaped utterance carrying an explicit
marker, and the marker is a lookup.

The markers are deliberately explicit — "молоко закончилось" is an
observation and stays a note. The list tag is matched by stem, because
Russian declines it: "список покупок", "в покупки" and "в покупках" are one
list. ListGrammars puts both halves at stage 0, so an add and a read-back
never depend on the model having a good turn.
An add and a crossing-off run at the top of actionNote, next to task
capture and before the embedding is paid for; the read-back is a query
source sitting beside "tasks", so the recall pass cannot answer "что мне
купить?" from an old note about the shop.

Crossing off one item claims the turn only when the list actually holds
that item, which is what keeps "купил новый ноутбук" a note.

These read h.dataStore rather than the CoreAPI: a list is local to the core
and nothing outside it writes one. The ipc seam is what it grows through
when something outside mavend needs to add to a list.
The Destructive column was a mechanism with no policy behind it: nothing said
which acts are destructive, whether a confirmed act stays confirmed, or what a
new tool domain inherits, so each domain answered for itself.

Three tiers, derived from the row rather than stored, so the answer can be
argued with in one place instead of being whatever the last person to tick the
checkbox believed. Safe runs. Destructive costs a confirm turn, every time —
a confirmation binds one capability, one target and one argument list, and it
dies with the parked turn. Irreversible is refused: a confirm turn there would
be theatre, because the STT, the router and the fuzzy allowlist match are all
guesses and a spoken "да" checks none of them. She names the gap; the row
stays enabled.

An unrecognised dispatch shape inherits destructive, not safe. A domain argues
its way down to running freely, never up to being gated.

Landed transitively. This branch is already an ancestor of master, so there is nothing left to merge and Gitea did not close the pull request on its own.

Reviewed as part of a bottom-up pass over the open stack. The four open findings from that pass are worth a follow-up task, and none of them blocks anything here:

  • internal/router/stage0.go has two grammars named rest-of-day-query, and the second is dead.
  • internal/router/numwords.go holds ruNumerals, a second copy of the lexicon cardinals.
  • cmd/mavend/reminderbody.go and cmd/mavend/historyq.go still match Russian by hand.
  • internal/weather/openmeteo.go guesses declension by reversing endings, and bails under four runes.
