Commit Gate Core

Try in 30 seconds

git clone https://github.com/LalaSkye/commit-gate-core.git
cd commit-gate-core
python -m examples.unsafe_email_send

Expected output:

Result: HOLD
Email sent: false
Receipt written: true

If the email actually sends, the gate is broken.

Most governance systems review decisions after consequences happen.

Commit Gate Core stops unauthorised consequences before execution.

No state mutation is allowed unless a signed, scoped, unexpired, unreplayed DecisionRecord authorises the exact commit.

If authority, scope, expiry, replay, or receipt checks fail, the system does not continue.

It holds.

Try in 30 seconds

git clone https://github.com/LalaSkye/commit-gate-core.git
cd commit-gate-core
python -m examples.unsafe_email_send

Expected:

Result: HOLD
Email sent: false
Receipt written: true

The gate refused the unsafe state change and wrote a receipt proving why.

If the email sends, the gate is broken. File an issue.

The killer demo

Attempt:        send external email
DecisionRecord: missing authority
Result:         HOLD
Email sent:     false
Receipt written: true

That is the shape. The system refuses the unsafe state change and writes a receipt proving why.

Status

v0.1 — one invariant, fully proven.

Not a full system. Not a roadmap. One rule, hard-enforced:

This path cannot execute without a valid DecisionRecord.

Run it in under 60 seconds

git clone https://github.com/LalaSkye/commit-gate-core.git
cd commit-gate-core
python -m examples.unsafe_email_send

Expected output: HOLD. Email not sent. Receipt written to ./receipts/.

If it executes the email, the gate is broken. File an issue.

What this repo proves

• A system refusing unsafe state change.
• Receipts proving why.
• Tests proving bypass fails.

Not code. Not docs. Not demos. Enforcement.
