spawn-nested-waiter
A deny rule by default: it refuses a subagent spawning a helper whose title or brief opening speaks of waiting or watching, and names what to run instead.
What it catches
A subagent spawning a helper whose title or brief opening speaks of waiting or watching.
Why
Waiting belongs to whoever spawned the work: the host tells a parent when its child ends. A worker handing that to a helper of its own stacks a third context on a notice two already get. A worker spawning a child to build a watch feature reads the same and rewords its title; a workspace where that is common sets the rule to advise, which says it once a session.
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({"spawn-nested-waiter": "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 [spawn-nested-waiter]: ...
A workspace that sets this rule to advise sees advise [spawn-nested-waiter]: ... instead.
magus describe rule spawn-nested-waiter prints the same entry at a terminal, and
magus describe rules lists every rule this workspace enforces.
