 - Runs fast local checks (exit codes, test results, git diffs) alongside semantic risk signals.
 - Blocks high-risk actions like credential leaks or schema changes with a mandatory safety veto.
 - Tunes acceptance thresholds across labeled tasks with statistical confidence intervals.

 - Safe steps pass to a calibrated scoring gate that evaluates composite task quality against tuned thresholds.
 - Steps meeting the quality threshold finish autonomously (`Accept` or `Terminate`), avoiding unnecessary calls to larger models.
