🔒 personas + memories are encrypted at rest — a git smudge filter, so github only ever sees ciphertext. plaintext stays on my disk.

each agent = two files: what it does + what it can touch.

the cage = one file

// agent-settings/hn.json
{
  "agent": "hn",
  "defaultMode": "dontAsk",
  "allow": [
    "Bash(…/services/hn.py stories)",
    "Bash(…/services/hn.py story *)",
    "Read(…/sandbox/hn/**)",
    "Edit(…/sandbox/hn/outbox/**)"
  ]
}
// everything not listed → denied

just an allowlist — these calls, nothing else. same shape on all eight; under everyone a floor: no secret reads, mine included.
