| Gate | Effect |
| --- | --- |
| Catalog first | No change before the agent has read the catalogs for what it changes. |
| Dry run | A change that would be refused is refused before anyone is asked to approve it. |
| Consent | Changing or deleting anything that existed before the session asks you first, in a card. In the chat a session lasts the whole conversation, so the agent's own earlier work is not asked about again; what you made in between is. |
| Broadcast rules | Units, animations and rundown changes that break a rule are refused with the fix. |
| Restore point | Each agent session, and each chat turn, saves a checkpoint you can revert to. |
| mind_test | The finish gate: seven perspectives the work must pass before it is called done. |
