Some context:I posted earlier versions of this idea in r/OpenTelemetry (trace topology angle) and r/aiengineering (Telegram bot PoC). Main pushback was around span attributes vs topology-level signals, and whether tool permissions alone are enough. That feedback shaped this version deterministic, no LLM in the loop, fail-closed by default.

Hi HN,

Most AI failures I’ve seen weren’t hallucinations or wrong answers. They happened when systems executed actions by default.

This project explores the idea of a “Judgment Boundary”: explicitly separating judgment from execution, and treating STOP / HOLD as first-class outcomes.

Instead of optimizing answer accuracy, it focuses on: - preventing default execution, - making non-execution observable, - and preserving human responsibility.

The repo is documentation-first and meant as a public map for people working on agents, governance, or execution safety.

Feedback welcome especially from platform and infra folks.
