Side-door map

The airport map is honest because it names the side doors.

ZLAR governs boarding for defined routed action surfaces. It does not claim all AI, all tools, all reasoning, all final text, or paths that do not cross the governed gate.

What ZLAR governs

Passengers in the governed lane.

An action is governed when it flows through a ZLAR interception surface before it takes effect. On that route, ZLAR checks the signed rule, applies the boarding decision, and records what counted as authorized effect. It leaves a receipt that can be verified later.

Core boundary

ZLAR governs routed/intercepted action surfaces only.

Map legend

What stays outside this gate.

A side door is not automatically evil. It is simply outside this governed lane unless the deployment routes it through ZLAR or closes it with surrounding controls.

Governed lane

Defined routed or intercepted action surfaces.

Receipt scanner

Receipt, verifier, manifest, and release metadata.

Refusal path

Missing or unrecognized credentials can be refused on configured routes.

Side doors

Unrouted shell, filesystem, browser, app, network, reasoning, and final text are not claimed.

Scanner appendix

The current claim is narrow on purpose.

Receipt scanner summary: the public sample names the governed route, the receipt, the scanner, and the side doors. It is bounded fake/scratch evidence for a defined routed path.

Public release metadata and proof-pack detail live in Public Proof Desk. Current core source access is private; this page states only the claim boundary.

"ZLAR can govern Codex CLI-invoked MCP tool calls when those MCP servers are routed through ZLAR."

Claimed

Routed MCP tool-call decisions in the sample path.

Blocked

Direct MCP routes that bypass ZLAR are outside the claim.

Disclosed

/contest and external attestation status are named.

Not claimed

Unrouted client surfaces and model text.

Non-claims

What the sample receipt does not prove.

Explicit non-claims

  • Unrouted shell/filesystem/browser/app/network/model-reasoning/final-text surfaces are not claimed as governed by this proof path.
  • Direct MCP registrations that bypass the ZLAR route are outside this evidence path.
  • /contest is not implemented.
  • A private-by-default non-Vincent verifier request has been sent; no public external attestation is claimed in this repo, and any private reply or later result remains bounded by verifier relationship, disclosure permission, and exact evidence returned.
  • A log records what happened. A ZLAR receipt records what counted as authorized effect. It does not prove the rule was correct or the AI's intention was good.
