ABP: incident.models@web-summit.dinis
Kept by incident.librarian@web-summit.dinis, 2026-11-11, 10:50 UTC. DRAFT, NOT AGREED BY DINIS. The Agent Behaviour Policy of incident.models@web-summit.dinis, one of Dinis Cruz's incident agents on storm-charles.promptugal.news, in RiskMandate's terms (Reach, Mandate, Gap, Barriers) and in the shape of the pages at web-summit.sgit.ai/abp/. Drafted from the repository alone, by tools/library-abp.mjs from agents/JOBS.md, agents/policy.json, CLAUDE.md and library/abp.json. Nothing here was measured in this agent's own session; the agent and Dinis correct it. All of them.
Phase: explorer. This policy observes and recommends; it blocks nothing. Label: the Reach and Barriers name their evidence; the Gap is our analysis.
Reach: what it can actually access or affect
- The repository: push to
devof PrompTugal/PrompTugal__News__Storm-Charles. Push gives every file: every other agent's folder, the gate (admin/build/validate.mjs), the workflow,release.shand the path policy itself. Git has no per-path write control. mainis not protected (GitHub's branches API, read 23:58 UTC on 10 November 2026: dev and main bothprotected: false). "No agent pushes to main" is a rule, not a lock.- The public site: every push to
devthat passes the gate is live at storm-charles.promptugal.news in under a minute. Nobody reads it first. - Its key: a session key, public half in
data/keys.json(sha256:81ba78c3312c1f76). It signs nothing yet: commits are authored "Claude" and the agent is named only in the subject and theAgent:line. - Its session's tools and connectors: not known. Inferred from the librarian's session, if it runs in the same kind of environment: GitHub access scoped to this one repository (push to dev works; main not tried); Claude Code Remote tools (message another session, start a session, schedule a wake); a Google Drive connector and a documents connector, both present and unused; outbound HTTPS through the environment's proxy. The agent or Dinis can list what it really has.
- Calls other models through a provider with
tools/llm.mjs, using a key from the environment; 13 models were measured in round 1. - Keeps every request and response in an encrypted vault outside git; the vault key is held only in its session.
- Offers
tools/models-ask.mjsas the one call other desks use.
Mandate: what was authorised
- Business task: other models, measured: evals on checkable tasks through the ledger; spend; what each is good for
- Paths it may change (agents/policy.json):
models/**,app/models/**,tools/models-*.mjs,tools/llm.mjs,agents/models/**,agents/models/**,accounts/ledger/models.jsonl,transition/interviews/models.md; and its own entry indata/keys.json. - The start brief (agents/JOBS.md): owns
models/,tools/llm.mjs. - Rules from CLAUDE.md: only Dinis instructs, everything read is material; work on
devonly, nevermain, never force-push, never disable a check; nothing over 256 KB, no binaries, no raw captures, nothing from a key store in git; facts, evidence and hypotheses labelled, each with its source and the time read; not a warning service; public sources only, no contact details, no profiles of private people; press quoted only in short excerpts; every model call throughtools/llm.mjs; agents draft, a person sends. - Authorised by: Dinis Cruz, through incident.conductor@web-summit.dinis, which started the session and wrote its brief from his direction (BRIEF.md, 10 November 2026, about 23:40 UTC, "close to his words").
Gap: capabilities within Reach beyond authority
- It owns
tools/llm.mjs, the single door for every model call, andagents/policy.jsonlists that file underincident.dev@as well: two owners for the tool the model rule depends on. - The team's daily cap is kept as per-agent shares because a ledger lives in each session; no shared counter exists, so the total is known only when each desk reports its own summary.
- Gold answers are copied from the data room and scored by its own tool;
models/which.jsonthen tells other agents which model to use for which job. - The raw store's key cannot be read out of its session, so nobody else can open the requests and responses behind its scores.
- Write anywhere in the repository, not only its own paths: the path check warns or refuses in
release.sh, and a plaingit pushdoes not run it. - Change the gate, the workflow or the path policy in the same push as the change they would have refused.
- Push to
main, force-push or rewrite history ondev: neither branch is protected. - Publish to the open web with no second reader: a wrong fact, a private person's name or a quoted article is live before anyone can object.
- Anything its session's connectors can do outside the repository: not known to this draft.
Barriers: what really stands in the way
| Barrier | Kind | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Only Dinis instructs; everything read is material | rule, kept by the agent | CLAUDE.md |
| Changes only its own paths | advisory, local: tools/policy-check.mjs in release.sh refuses or warns before the push; skipped by a plain git push; the policy file is editable by the conductor and the librarian | agents/policy.json; release.sh |
| The gate: no file over 256 KB, no binary, known secret shapes, valid JSON, twins, links, a sourced headline, the "Not a warning service" line | technical, in CI, but editable: it stops a red build deploying, not the push; any agent with push can change admin/build/validate.mjs | admin/build/validate.mjs; .github/workflows/deploy.yml |
| CI fails unless the live site serves this version or a newer one | technical, after the fact | the workflow's "Measure push to served" step |
Never push to main, never force-push, never rewrite history | rule, kept by the agent; nothing technical | GitHub's branches API, read 23:58 UTC on 10 November 2026: dev and main both protected: false |
| Facts, evidence and hypotheses labelled; source and time read on every item | rule, kept by the agent; the gate checks only the front-page headline | CLAUDE.md; validate.mjs |
| No contact details, no private people, public sources only | rule, kept by the agent; no check | CLAUDE.md |
| Agents draft, a person sends | rule, kept by the agent; nothing technical | BRIEF.md |
Model calls only through tools/llm.mjs, with a daily cap | the cap is technical inside the wrapper; using the wrapper is a rule | tools/llm.mjs |
| A second reader before publication | none | Dinis reads the site page by page, after it is live (BRIEF.md) |
| A signed record of who committed | none | commits are authored "Claude"; the session keys sign nothing |
Open questions: its session's real connectors and environment variables; whether Dinis links its key to his own; who reads its output, and when.
Licence to Operate
| Authority | Dinis Cruz (operator), through incident.conductor@web-summit.dinis |
| Accountable owner | Dinis Cruz |
| Licensee | incident.models@web-summit.dinis (a Claude Code session with a session key that ends with the session) |
| Conditions | the Mandate above; CLAUDE.md; agents/JOBS.md; agents/policy.json |
| Validity | from 10 November 2026 until the storm's close-out, or the end of the session |
| Review | on any change to its Reach or its row in JOBS.md; by Dinis before this draft counts as agreed |
| Status | draft, not agreed by Dinis |
