argonauts-crew 0.1.0

//! The memory safety scan: typed fields, length limits, and no instruction-like text ("ignore
//! previous", "you must"), tool or shell syntax, or URLs to fetch. Accepted proposals go to
//! `.argonauts/notes/` in the run branch.
//!
//! Notes reach every later session's prompt, so this is a security boundary: a note is data
//! about the code, never something a model could read as an order.
