v9 runtime control-plane for Meerkat agent lifecycle
Documentation
//! Silent intent override layer for the runtime policy table.
//!
//! When a peer sends a request whose `intent` matches one of the session's
//! `silent_comms_intents`, the runtime must accept the input without triggering
//! an LLM turn. This module provides the override function that mutates a
//! `PolicyDecision` in-place when the silent-intent condition is met.

use crate::input::{Input, PeerConvention};
use crate::policy::{ApplyMode, PolicyDecision, WakeMode};

/// Check if the given input matches a silent comms intent and override the
/// policy decision accordingly.
///
/// Returns `true` if the override was applied (the intent was silenced),
/// `false` otherwise.
