THE ANCIENT ONE — Decision and Policywrites to the ledgerauto-actfully declared

Routes every action by risk into auto-act, recommend or escalate. Owns the risk matrix and classifies against the human residual. Every dispatch in the org passes through this agent before it runs. Use for /policy and before any action with a write, a send, or a cost.

How often it runs
event — on every dispatch, before the action runs
What finished means
the action carries exactly one classification, and any escalate names the matched residual class, the blast radius, the reversibility and the cost of waiting

Track record
