//! A **pre-execution** gate on mission tool calls.
//!
//! Everything else that watches a mission agent watches it too late.
//! [`crate::vm_tool_tap`] is a `PostToolUse` hook — it fires after the tool has
//! already run, and `exit 0`s unconditionally because a non-zero `PostToolUse`
//! talks back to the model. It is telemetry and says so.
//!
//! So until now a mission agent's `Bash` call was gated by nothing, anywhere.
//! `GatePolicy` — the §15 door — has exactly one enforcement site, the chat
//! loop, and its approvals key on `(session_id, message_id)`, which no mission
//! phase can produce. Meanwhile the three solo tiers run `claude -p` with
//! `--permission-mode acceptEdits`: `Read`, `Edit`, `Write`, `Bash`,
//! pre-approved.
//!
//! `PreToolUse` fires under `claude -p` in this image — measured by
//! [`crate::vm_stop_gate`], which proved the hook mechanism and the exit-2
//! contract — and had **no callers at all**. This module is that hook.
//!
//! # What this is, and what it is not
//!
//! It is a deterministic policy gate: a small deny list of actions that are
//! destructive or exfiltrating regardless of intent, blocked before they run,
//! with the reason handed back to the model so it can choose differently.
//!
//! It is **not** the §15 human approval gate. A hook blocks the agent's process
//! while it runs, and a human decision takes minutes to hours — waiting inside
//! the hook would wedge the turn. Making mission work suspendable for human
//! approval is a larger change (the approval key alone has no mission-shaped
//! form). This closes the gap between "nothing" and "something", and it should
//! not be described as more than that.
//!
//! # Why the deny list is short
//!
//! A gate that blocks legitimate work is worse than none: the agent cannot ask
//! a human, so it either works around the block — which is how you get an agent
//! doing something stranger than what you denied — or it burns the turn. Every
//! entry here is an action with no legitimate form inside a mission checkout.
