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.
//! `moat allow`: turn an `ask` into a session grant or a permanent rule, allow a
//! site or a directory permanently, or remove a permanent rule.
