openmoat 0.1.0-alpha.2

Policy guard for AI coding agents: decides allow, ask or deny for every tool call from Claude Code, Codex and Cursor, configures Claude Code's and Codex's own OS sandboxes from the same policy, and keeps a local audit log.
//! Human approvals that outlive one prompt.
//!
//! Two files under `~/.moat`, both pinned by the policy lock so an agent cannot
//! grant itself anything:
//! - `approvals.json`: session grants, exact command for one host session, valid for
//!   [`GRANT_TTL_MS`] after they are written;
//! - `policy.d/approved.yaml`: permanent allow rules appended by `moat allow --always`,
//!   `--site` and `--dir`, merged into the user policy at load time so `policy.yaml` is never rewritten.
