Claude provides the intelligence. The Nervous System provides governance.
File Protection
Honor system. LLM promises not to edit files.
preflight.sh mechanically blocks edits. 89+ protected files. Violations logged.
Context Continuity
Memory system. Lossy between sessions. Summaries only.
Disk-based handoffs written every 3-4 messages. Survives crashes. Full state preserved.
Drift Prevention
No mechanism to force reflection. LLM zooms into details.
Forced step-back every 4 messages. "Are we solving the real problem?" Non-optional.
Silent Failures
Session times out. No record of progress. Start over.
Progress written before each action. Next session picks up exactly where it stopped.
Task Management
Inline execution. Burns context window on implementation.
Dispatch pattern: write task file, spawn background agent, keep main session for strategy.
Audit Trail
No enforcement log. No way to verify compliance.
Every violation timestamped. Every preflight check recorded. Full audit dashboard.
Governance
System prompt suggestions. Behavioral, not mechanical.
7 enforced rules. Mechanical checks before every action. Zero trust in promises.
Change Control
LLM decides what to change. Human reviews after.
DATA vs LOGIC protocol. Logic changes proposed and wait. Human approves first.
