notes-author

A deny rule: it refuses an agent authoring a human's note, whose only provenance is who wrote it, and names what to run instead.

What it catches

An agent authoring a human's note, whose only provenance is who wrote it.

Why

A note is the one thing in the knowledge graph nothing here corroborates later, so its only provenance is the person who wrote it and signed the commit. That is why it is refused however the write is spelled: capture files a review transcript as a note and promote writes a memory record into the SHARED store, where the commit puts a person's name on prose they never read. magus memory put <name> is the agent-writable store, where every entry cites a ref a later reader can re-run.

Seeing it

A verdict names its rule in brackets, which is how you got here:

deny [notes-author]: ...

magus describe rule notes-author prints the same entry at a terminal, and magus describe rules lists every rule this workspace enforces.

Glossary

Workspace

The magus root directory that owns a set of projects and shared config; the unit magus operates over. See workspace.

Spell

A language/runtime adapter (e.g. go, md) that maps generic targets onto a toolchain's real commands. See spells.

CI

An ordinary magusfile-defined target you compose yourself with magus\needs - magus does not hardcode its stages. Magus.RunCI treats it specially only in that it strips the rw charm, it is the anchor magus affected ci keys off, and a selected scope with no project declaring it is a load error rather than a silent no-op. See targets.

Knowledge graph

The queryable graph of a workspace's spells, targets, docs, and code relationships; query it with magus query/explain/path. See knowledge.

Run

One target executing under one magus invocation, such as magus run test web or magus affected ci. A run keeps its captured output behind an output reference. Every magus run is a run whether or not any job asked for it; see Job for how the two relate.

Conventions

Placeholders

Angle brackets mark a value you replace with your own - never type the brackets:

magus run <target>
magus completion <shell>    # e.g. bash, zsh, fish

<target>, <path>, <shell>, <name> and the like are stand-ins, not literal text.
