graph-pipe

A deny rule by default: it refuses a read-only graph verb piped into a text filter, when magus projects the record itself, and names what to run instead.

What it catches

A read-only graph verb piped into a text filter, when magus projects the record itself.

Why

The same answer output-pipe gives: -o name for ids, -o json for the whole record, -o template='{{.field}}' for one field. It is its own rule on refs, query, explain and describe because they change nothing and their pipe loses no failure, so a workspace whose readers go back to grep -rn when refused can set this one to advise and keep output-pipe denying.

Default and override

By default this rule takes the decision deny. A workspace sets it by name, in its root magusfile, to deny, advise or off:

magus\guard.builtins({"graph-pipe": "advise"})

A loosening takes effect once it is committed; a tightening applies at once.

Seeing it

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

deny [graph-pipe]: ...

A workspace that sets this rule to advise sees advise [graph-pipe]: ... instead.

magus describe rule graph-pipe 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. Workspace in full.

Project

A directory magus recognizes as a unit of work (it has a magusfile); the unit of caching, scheduling, and dependency tracking. Project in full.

Magusfile

The magusfile.buzz that declares a project's targets (as export funs) and binds its spells. Magusfile in full.

Buzz

The language magusfiles are written in (the .buzz engine). Buzz in full.

CI

An ordinary target you compose yourself with ctx.needs; magus does not hardcode its stages. It is the anchor magus affected ci keys off, and ci strips the rw charm. CI in full.

Agent

A model working through an agent host such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or OpenCode. magus treats an agent as one more caller of its CLI, MCP tools and console, held to the same checks as a person. Agent in full.

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. Run in full.
