What the fast path calls unknown is judged by an independent model call
on the item's classifier role (L4), before it runs.
- nisse_dev.loop.classifier: it sees the action and the agreed scope
(project, repository, issue number, the restatement the operator said
go to), built in code; never the transcript, the issue's text, tool
output or the driver's reasoning. Its verdict is a tool call: safe
runs; in_scope runs and is reported in the thread; needs_discussion
asks, as a dangerous action does. An error, no verdict or an unknown
one fails closed. Verdicts are cached per item, agreed revision and
action. A helper is refused what needs discussion.
- action_verdict gains source, model and the classifier's exact input;
details shows the source. An allow after the classifier asked is an
override. scripts/classifier-evals.py exports the judgements from a
store, read-only; tests/integration/classifier_cases.yaml is the seed
set, run per model with --capability-models.
- The fast path's delete rule: deleting on the build VM is contained;
only what breaks the host (system and home directories) stays
dangerous, since in tests the build VM is the test machine.
- The classifier role is the local model in the example config.
- The property walk gains a classifier answering at random, junk and
failures included; dangerous_only_when_allowed now covers its
verdicts (checked against a mutant that runs them all).
