Struct WhistleSection 

pub struct WhistleSection {
    pub allow_control: bool,
}

The [whistle] section

One key, and it is a gate rather than a tuning knob: shep whistle’s four control tools (start_sheep, stop_sheep, restart_sheep, reload_sheep) exist only when this is true, and its five read-only tools exist regardless.

This lives in the shepherd’s config file and nowhere else. There is no --allow-control flag and no SHEP_* variable, deliberately: spec §14.7 rules that whistle’s gate is daemon config because config is auditable and flags are per-invocation. That is a legibility argument, not a containment one — --home/SHEP_HOME already choose which shep.toml gets read, so a flag would open nothing those don’t already; a boolean in a file just leaves a diff and an mtime an operator can audit.

The shepherd itself never reads this key — shep whistle reads the file directly, at startup, in its own process. It is here because this struct is the grammar of shep.toml: RawDaemonConfig denies unknown fields, so a [whistle] section the grammar does not know about would refuse the whole file to boot rather than being silently ignored.

Debug is derived rather than redacted (IR-41): one boolean, no secret, nothing a {:?} could leak.

Fields

allow_control: bool

Whether shep whistle offers its control tools. Default false.
