Dynamic validation gates and risk assessment for operations that could harm system integrity. Evaluates blast radius, reversibility, and confidence before allowing execution to proceed.
Description
Provides a pre-execution safety layer that auto-detects operation types, generates prerequisite validation gates, scores risk and confidence, and produces structured error output when operations are blocked. Complements the Council of Logic (code quality) with operation safety assessment.
For each detected operation type, generate prerequisite gates. Gates are checks that must pass before execution proceeds.

GATE: Backup exists or migration is reversible
CHECK: Verify downgrade() function exists in Alembic revision

Structured Error Format
When the Guardian blocks an operation, output uses this format. This is distinct from error-taxonomy (which handles runtime API errors). Guardian errors are governance-level blocking decisions.
ERROR: {What failed or was blocked}
CAUSE: {Why the gate failed or risk is too high}
RISK: {LOW | MEDIUM | HIGH} — {one-line risk summary}
FIX: {Specific action to resolve the block}
BLOCKING: {YES | NO}
Examples
See references/error-format.md for complete examples per operation type.
BLOCKING Classification
BLOCKING
Meaning
When Used
YES
Operation cannot proceed until resolved
Data loss risk, security vulnerability, test failure
NO
Warning only — operation may proceed
Documentation missing, advisory best practice
Self-Healing Retry
When BLOCKING: NO and risk is LOW:
Apply the suggested FIX automatically
Re-run the failed gate
If pass → proceed
If fail again → escalate to BLOCKING: YES
Self-healing is never applied to:
BLOCKING: YES gates
MEDIUM or HIGH risk operations
Security-related gates
Database migration gates

Guardian output format
Structured, compressed error format
Boundary: Council validates code quality; Execution Guardian validates operation safety.
Genesis Orchestrator
Phase boundaries trigger gate re-evaluation
Guardian respects phase-locked execution (does not skip ahead)
Section completion gates align with Guardian's deployment gates
Verification Agent
LOW risk → standard verification
MEDIUM risk → verification + regression tests
HIGH risk → comprehensive verification + manual review recommendation
Execution Modes
EXPLORATION: Guardian off
BUILD: Standard gates, approval for MEDIUM+
SCALE: Full gates, rollback plans required for MEDIUM+
STRATEGY: Guardian off
Anti-Patterns
Pattern
Problem
Correct Approach
Gating every file edit
Over-governance, kills momentum
Only gate destructive/multi-layer/security ops
Skipping gates because "it's just a small change"
Small changes to auth/security can be catastrophic
Gate based on operation type, not change size
Blocking on advisory warnings in BUILD mode
Momentum loss
Advisory = BLOCKING: NO, proceed with warning
Applying self-healing to security gates
Could mask real vulnerabilities
Self-healing only for LOW risk, non-security gates
Generating rollback plans for LOW risk ops
Token waste, over-engineering
Rollback plans for HIGH risk only (MEDIUM in SCALE mode)
Checklist
Operation type correctly auto-detected
Prerequisite gates generated for all detected types
Risk scored across blast radius, reversibility, and confidence
Composite risk level drives appropriate response
Structured error format used for all blocks (ERROR / CAUSE / RISK / FIX / BLOCKING)
Self-healing only applied to BLOCKING: NO + LOW risk
Council of Logic feeds into confidence and blast radius
Mode-appropriate governance (BUILD vs SCALE intensity)
