# Today's Best Build: Preflight

**Report Date**: 2026-10-08  
**Coverage**: 2026-10-08T00:00:00+08:00 – 2026-10-08T23:59:59+08:00 (UTC)  
**Status**: partial (No strong signal for questions: Q14)

## Today's Best Build: Preflight

**One-liner**: A pre-execution gate for coding agents: dry-run every tool call, show the blast radius, and write a signed approve/deny line before anything touches disk or network.

**Why Now**: Agents crossed from suggesting to doing in a single week. Docker shipped `docker agent` as a one-command, YAML-configured runtime with shell and MCP toolsets (Score 279 / 129 comments), and the same 24 hours produced Termaxa (destruction preview), AgentGuard (skill scanning), Hallmonitor and SiMo. Simultaneously Microsoft cut per-employee monthly AI ceilings from $100,000 to roughly $10,000 and Meta pulled staff off Claude (Score 305 / 293 comments) — the people who pay the bill now want a recor

**Evidence**:
- Docker Agent turns shell-capable, MCP-connected agents into a one-command install (Score 279, 129 comments), but its YAML schema expresses toolsets and instructions, never permissions — there is no field for 'what this agent may touch'. _(signal #82305)_
- Microsoft cut monthly per-employee AI spending ceilings from $100,000 to roughly $10,000 and Meta is reducing internal Claude usage (Score 305 / 293 comments), so agent governance moved from a policy slide into a line item someone gets asked about. _(signal #82317)_
- ARTEX, a 531-star autonomous LLM pentest system, ships with a warning that Korean press reported the original being used against financial institutions in October 2026 — unattended agent loops already produce real damage, and the disclaimer is now part of the README. _(signal #82543)_
- Practitioners are drawing a hard line between 'validation PASS' and 'human acceptance PENDING → publish DENIED', arguing the approval step is a separate artifact rather than a log line inside CI (Comments: 2). _(signal #82297)_
- Two launches in one day — Termaxa ('see what an agent's command would destroy before it runs') and AgentGuard ('scan agent Skills before you install them') — confirm demand for pre-execution checks, while covering only one command or one install moment each. _(signal #82516)_

**Fastest Validation**: Install the hook on your own machine, let it log 100+ real tool calls over three days, then post an anonymized aggregate ('X% were file writes, Y% touched network or credentials') into the Docker Agent HN thread — 129 comments is a warm, technical audience. Ask one question: which of these would you have wanted blocked? Kill the idea if fewer than 10 people ask for the deny-rules file that comes out of the replies.

**Counter-view**: Termaxa already ships 'see what an AI agent's command would destroy before it runs', and AgentGuard scans skills before install — a standalone diff previewer is a feature, not a company. Worse, Docker owns the runtime: it can add a `confirm: true` field to `docker agent` YAML in one point release and erase the preview wedge overnight. The only defensible layer is the one Docker won't build for you — a portable policy file plus a hash-chained audit log a manager can hand to finance during a $10,0

## Top Signals

### Meta and Microsoft take steps to reduce employee usage of Claude AI
**Source**: hackernews | **Metric**: Score: 305 / Comments: 293

Microsoft's internal Anthropic spend estimate dropped by over a third after monthly per-employee AI ceilings were cut from $100,000 to roughly $10,000. Agent usage is now budget-audited, which creates buyers for audit and approval artifacts, not just for smarter agents.

### jiwoochris/artex-ko
**Source**: github-trending | **Metric**: Stars: 601

A Korean edition of an autonomous LLM pentest system, published with a warning that the original was reportedly tied to real data-leak attacks on Korean financial institutions in October 2026. The failure mode of unattended agents is no longer theoretical, which is the strongest possible tailwind for a pre-execution gate.

### Docker Agent
**Source**: hackernews | **Metric**: Score: 279 / Comments: 129

Docker puts shell-capable, MCP-connected agents behind `docker agent run agent.yaml`, making autonomous tool use a one-command install for ordinary teams. It defines tools and models but no permission model — exactly the gap a hook-based gate fills.

### “It Worked” Is Not the Same as “It Can Run in Production”
**Source**: devto | **Metric**: Comments: 2

The article separates 'validation PASS' from 'human acceptance PENDING' and treats the approval record as its own required artifact. That distinction is the product spec for any agent gate, and it is being written down by practitioners right now.

### Port of the TypeScript compiler, checker and lsp to Rust, by LLM
**Source**: hackernews | **Metric**: Score: 59 / Comments: 104

1.3 million lines of Rust written across months of unattended `/goal` loops, at ~$24,047 of measured API spend and a $420,000 counterfactual. It quantifies how long agents now run unsupervised — and how little review happened per line.


## Discovery

### Q1. What solo-founder products launched today?
**Signal**: Product Hunt featured at least 7 lightweight agent/devtool launches today: AgentGuard, Termaxa, tunnl.gg, Hallmonitor, SineFrame M3, ClawCall, OpenSEO; Show HN Bigwords.page scored 608 points with 146 comments.

**Analysis**: These launches are narrow, single-purpose utilities: scanning agent skills, previewing destructive agent commands, localhost tunnels, monitoring coding agents, MCP testing, and agent phone calls. The scope, pricing-free positioning, and absence of team or company attribution in the excerpts fit solo-founder product wedges, especially around agent safety and developer observability.

**Takeaway**: Watch AgentGuard and Termaxa as validation for agent-permission utilities, then ship a narrow integration that previews destructive actions before an agent runs.

**Counter-view**: Docker Agent is already a larger platform launch at 279 points and 129 comments, so a solo agent-safety tool can be absorbed by platform-native permissioning or bundled away.

### Q2. Which search terms or discussion threads are suddenly rising?
**Signal**: Hacker News: Claude Haiku 5.5 scored 977 points with 457 comments; GPT-6 and Intelligent UI scored 713 points with 418 comments; The Mathocalypse scored 329 points with 334 comments; OpenAI Withdraws 3 Math Papers scored 301 points with 265 comments; Docker Agent scored 279 points with 129 comments.

**Analysis**: The fastest-rising terms are model releases and agent runtime: Claude Haiku 5.5, GPT-6 Intelligent UI, Docker Agent, and the Mathocalypse/OpenAI math withdrawal thread. The OpenAI withdrawal and Mathocalypse pair suggests rising scrutiny of model research claims, while Docker Agent shows agent packaging is becoming a developer-platform discussion.

**Takeaway**: Build a concise explainer or tool that tracks model-release claims and agent-runtime security, using Claude Haiku 5.5 and Docker Agent as entry keywords.

**Counter-view**: Claude Haiku 5.5 at 977 points is a model-release spike, not durable demand; Docker Agent at 279 points and 129 comments is a smaller thread, so do not over-index on agent-infra keywords if your audience is general application developers.

### Q3. Which open-source projects are growing fast but lack a commercial offering?
**Signal**: GitHub Trending: alejandrobujan/tendedero has 909 stars; pingdotgg/ts-rust has 643 stars; jiwoochris/artex-ko has 601 stars; bas3line/ascii has 527 stars; mhtsec/ARTEX has 531 stars; BQ-Wang0511/TalkLikeYou-Streaming-RealTime-Demo has 518 stars.

**Analysis**: ts-rust is a high-interest LLM-assisted port of the TypeScript compiler, checker, and LSP to Rust with no obvious commercial vendor. ARTEX and artex-ko are autonomous penetration-testing systems with demo links and source backups, but no clear paid cloud or support offering in the excerpts. ascii.rest and tendedero are utility/showcase repos with no commercial layer.

**Takeaway**: Watch ts-rust and ARTEX as commercialization gaps; build hosted CI, security review, or support products around LLM-ported compilers and autonomous pentest tooling.

**Counter-view**: The TypeScript compiler already has Microsoft-backed tsc and commercially funded alternatives like swc and esbuild; ts-rust cost over $420,000 in tokens as a one-off experiment, not a defensible moat.

### Q4. What are developers complaining about today?
**Signal**: Dev.to: 'The job market is absolutely disgusting' has 8 comments; 'To Retry or Not to Retry?' has 27 comments. Hacker News: Meta and Microsoft reduce employee usage of Claude AI scored 305 points with 293 comments; US Suspends Visa Program for Tech Firms scored 49 points with 21 comments.

**Analysis**: Developer complaints cluster around hiring-market frustration, retry/benchmarking fatigue, enterprise restrictions on Claude AI, and visa/immigration uncertainty. The highest-engagement complaint thread is enterprise AI tooling restrictions, not a pure coding problem.

**Takeaway**: Build job-market transparency tools or retry-policy linting for backend teams; ship a small agent observability feature that shows retry storms before production.

**Counter-view**: Retry complaints have only 27 comments, while Claude Haiku 5.5 has 977 points, so treat retry fatigue as a niche developer pain rather than today’s dominant issue.

## Tech Radar

### Q5. What is the fastest-growing developer tool this week?
**Signal**: Hacker News: Docker Agent scored 279 points with 129 comments (id 82305), described as a declarative YAML way to build, run and share AI agents with multi-agent orchestration. It is not alone: Product Hunt this week is dominated by the same category — Hallmonitor (id 82405, watch every coding agent from the notch), BotBus (id 82390, manage local coding agents from your phone), Clippo (id 82404, orchestrate agent teams on a visual canvas) and OpenSwarm (id 82490, a swarm of agents where you work)

**Analysis**: The fastest-growing developer tool this week is not a compiler or a database but the agent control plane: Docker Agent packages agent orchestration into a declarative config, and the Product Hunt cluster (Hallmonitor, BotBus, Clippo, OpenSwarm) shows founders racing to own the 'run and supervise my agents' surface. The pattern is consistent — YAML or canvas-defined agents, multi-agent orchestration, and a management UI. Compare this to the single-model debates: the tooling layer is where new rep

**Takeaway**: Build your agent workflows on a declarative orchestration layer (Docker Agent-style YAML) instead of hand-rolled glue scripts, so you can swap models without rewriting control flow.

**Counter-view**: Claude Haiku 5.5 pulled 977 points and 457 comments on Hacker News (id 82300), roughly 3.5x Docker Agent's 279 points, suggesting the crowd still rewards model releases more than tooling — and a YAML standard may lose to whatever ships inside Codex or Claude Code first.

### Q6. Which AI models, frameworks, or infrastructure deserve attention?
**Signal**: Claude Haiku 5.5 hit 977 points / 457 comments on Hacker News (id 82300) and also launched on Product Hunt (id 82387); GPT-6 drew 713 points / 418 comments on HN (id 82302); Product Hunt shipped SineFrame M3, which tests MCP servers and the agents that call them in pytest (id 82510), and Liquid Inference, an LLM router where providers compete for every prompt (id 82407). A dev.to benchmark also shows ParadeDB pg_search 0.26 cutting a ten-term BM25 search from 129ms to 29ms (id 82457).

**Analysis**: Two layers deserve attention. First, the model layer: Haiku 5.5 is framed as Anthropic's fastest and most capable Haiku yet and outdraws GPT-6 on HN, while GPT-6 owns the 'intelligent UI' narrative. Second, the infrastructure layer around it: MCP server testing (SineFrame M3), provider-agnostic routing (Liquid Inference) and hybrid search inside Postgres (pg_search 0.26, a ~4.4x latency cut) are the unglamorous pieces that decide whether agents are shippable. The dnsdev.to DNS root KSK-2024 item

**Takeaway**: Ship latency- and cost-sensitive agent steps on Haiku 5.5 first, and add an MCP test harness (SineFrame M3-style pytest coverage) plus a router before you scale prompt volume.

**Counter-view**: Meta and Microsoft are actively reducing employee usage of Claude and pivoting to their own coding instruments, per a 305-point / 293-comment HN thread (id 82317) — model momentum at the edge does not guarantee enterprise retention.

### Q7. Which platforms, products, or technologies are declining?
**Signal**: Hacker News: 'Meta and Microsoft take steps to reduce employee usage of Claude AI' scored 305 points with 293 comments, with both firms pivoting to proprietary coding instruments (id 82317). On dev.to, a real TypeScript OSS library documented migrating from tsup to tsdown, framing the config change as small but the package-contract preservation as the hard part (id 82286, 16 comments).

**Analysis**: Two decline signals stand out. At the enterprise level, single-vendor model dependency is losing ground: when two of the largest engineering employers cut Claude usage for first-party tooling, the 'one model everywhere' assumption weakens. At the build-tool level, tsup is being superseded by tsdown in real OSS packaging, the same pattern that retired earlier bundlers once a faster or better-maintained successor appeared. Neither is a collapse, but both are directional: vendor-neutral routing and

**Takeaway**: Defer standardizing your codebase on a single model vendor or a single TS bundler — keep an abstraction (router/CI matrix) so swapping Claude for a first-party model, or tsup for tsdown, is a config change rather than a migration.

**Counter-view**: Claude Haiku 5.5's 977-point launch the same week (id 82300) shows Anthropic's developer-side pull is still accelerating, so the Meta/Microsoft pullback may reflect procurement politics rather than a real capability decline.

### Q8. What tech stacks are successful Show HN / GitHub projects using?
**Signal**: GitHub trending: ARTEX, an autonomous LLM penetration-testing system, is explicitly Go backend + Next.js frontend with 531 stars (id 82543) and its Korean edition artex-ko has 601 stars (id 82439). ts-rust (pingdotgg/ts-rust) ports the TypeScript compiler, checker and LSP to Rust with 643 stars (id 82272). On Hacker News, Show HN: Bigwords.page reached 608 points / 146 comments using a stack where 'the URL is the app' — no account, no app, nothing stored (id 82306). ParadeDB's pg_search brings B

**Analysis**: Three stacks repeat across this week's winners. (1) Go backend + Next.js frontend for agentic systems — ARTEX is the clearest case, with 531 and 601 stars across two repos. (2) Rust as the rewrite target for performance-critical JavaScript infrastructure — ts-rust at 643 stars, though the author admits it cost over $420,000 in tokens via LLM porting (HN 59 points / 104 comments, id 82487). (3) Stateless, URL-as-the-app web delivery: Bigwords.page's 608-point launch needs no account and no instal

**Takeaway**: Build new agentic products on Go + Next.js with Postgres-side search (pg_search) rather than inventing a search service, and ship stateless URL-driven surfaces for zero-friction distribution.

**Counter-view**: ts-rust's $420,000 token bill to port a compiler suggests the Rust-rewrite stack is not repeatable for small teams — that HN thread only reached 59 points, and a $20k-tuned rerun was speculative rather than demonstrated.

## Competitive Intel

### Q9. What pricing and revenue models are indie developers discussing?
**Signal**: Dev.to 'What email APIs cost in 2026' (1 comment) and 'I'm 12. I code on a $150 phone' (17 comments); Hacker News 'Port of the TypeScript compiler, checker and lsp to Rust, by LLM' (Score 59 / Comments 104).

**Analysis**: Indie developers are actively benchmarking per-email pricing across six providers and debating $200/month tool budgets for newsletters. Token costs for LLM-driven migrations are also a hot topic, with one HN post citing $420k in tokens versus a possible $20k. Revenue models lean toward usage-based pricing, open-source alternatives, and low-overhead newsletters.

**Takeaway**: Build pricing calculators and cost-optimization tools for AI/email APIs; ship indie products with transparent usage-based pricing to compete on cost.

**Counter-view**: OpenSEO (id=82395) may struggle to monetize as a free Semrush alternative; Liquid Inference (id=82407) faces margin pressure from providers competing on price.

### Q10. What migration, replacement, or "X is dead" trends are emerging?
**Signal**: Dev.to 'Migrating a Real TypeScript OSS Library from tsup to tsdown' (16 comments); Hacker News 'Port of the TypeScript compiler, checker and lsp to Rust, by LLM' (Score 59 / Comments 104) and 'Meta and Microsoft take steps to reduce employee usage of Claude AI' (Score 305 / Comments 293); GitHub 'pingdotgg/ts-rust' (643 stars).

**Analysis**: Migration from tsup to tsdown is gaining traction, while LLM-assisted porting of the TypeScript compiler to Rust signals a broader 'rewrite in Rust' trend. Meta and Microsoft reducing Claude usage suggests enterprise replacement of third-party AI with in-house tools. 'X is dead' sentiment is growing around legacy TS tooling and external AI dependencies.

**Takeaway**: Watch and build migration services for tsup→tsdown and TypeScript→Rust; ship tooling that helps teams replace external AI dependencies with local models.

**Counter-view**: ts-rust's $420k token cost (id=82487) shows migration can be prohibitively expensive; Meta/Microsoft's move away from Claude may backfire if proprietary tools lag.

### Q11. Which old projects or legacy needs are suddenly coming back?
**Signal**: Dev.to 'The internet's root key rotates in five days. Your resolver may not be ready.' (2 comments); Hacker News 'Classic PC demoscene productions running natively in the browser' (Score 64 / Comments 46) and 'Beauty in DVD Menus' (Score 99 / Comments 67); GitHub 'szabadkai/c64-keyboard-font' (542 stars).

**Analysis**: Legacy DNS resolver compliance is urgent due to the KSK-2024 rotation, forcing updates for resolvers that missed RFC 5011. Retro computing is resurging: classic demoscene in the browser, DVD menu aesthetics, and C64 keyboard fonts indicate nostalgia-driven demand.

**Takeaway**: Build DNS resolver monitoring/upgrade tools for legacy systems; ship retro-computing projects or content to capture niche developer attention.

**Counter-view**: c64-keyboard-font (id=82267) has 542 stars but limited monetization potential; the DNS resolver issue affects a small technical audience, unlikely to reach mainstream scale.

## Trends

### Q12. What are the highest-frequency keywords this week?
**Signal**: Top 90 signals show agent/AI-agent terms in at least 16 entries: HN 'Docker Agent' score 279/comments 129; HN 'Claude Haiku 5.5' score 977/comments 457; HN 'GPT-6 and Intelligent UI' score 713/comments 418; Product Hunt has AgentGuard, Termaxa, Hallmonitor, BotBus, Clippo, and OpenSwarm.

**Analysis**: The dominant cluster is agent orchestration, control, and security, followed by Claude/Anthropic model releases and GPT-6 model chatter. Local/offline AI and MCP testing are smaller but recurring subthemes. Generic AI chat is being displaced by agent-specific operational tooling.

**Takeaway**: Watch agent orchestration and Claude model launches as the week's core narrative; build positioning around agent control, security, and evaluation rather than generic AI chat.

**Counter-view**: But agent attention is uneven: HN 'Show HN: Agent.reviews' has only score 34/comments 34, while HN 'Show HN: Bigwords.page' scores 608/comments 146, showing a simple non-agent utility can outrank many agent tools.

### Q13. Which concepts are cooling down?
**Signal**: In the top 90, standalone Web3/crypto/NFT/metaverse and vector-DB/RAG terms are missing; the highest non-AI infrastructure/regulatory story is HN 'Visa, Mastercard, major banks...' score 505/comments 362, and dev.to 'Where the four minutes go when a cluster adds a node' sits at overall 5.3 with no listed comments. HN 'Claude Haiku 5.5' still leads at score 977/comments 457.

**Analysis**: Cooling areas look like standalone crypto/metaverse narratives, generic RAG/vector-DB tooling, and plain Kubernetes/serverless plumbing. These are either absorbed into broader agent stacks or not generating high-engagement discussion in the current top 90.

**Takeaway**: Defer building another generic RAG or Web3 explainer; ship agent-security, local-inference, or judgment-layer tooling where the week's attention is concentrated.

**Counter-view**: Still, HN 'Visa, Mastercard...' score 505/comments 362 shows fintech/regulatory conflict can pull large engagement, so non-agent topics are not uniformly cooling.

### Q14. Which new terms or categories are emerging from zero?
_No strong signal found today. Possible reasons: no relevant discussion in the collection window, or signals scattered below actionable threshold._

## Action

### Q15. What is most worth spending 2 hours on today?
**Signal**: Dev.to article: 'The internet's root key rotates in five days. Your resolver may not be ready.' scored 8.0/10 with 2 comments, specifying KSK-2024 on October 11 and 'Three checks, five minutes' (id=82295).

**Analysis**: This is the only top signal with a hard, imminent deadline: the DNS root KSK-2024 rotation on October 11. The work is small and concrete—three checks, five minutes—so two hours is enough to build a public readiness checker and publish it. AI model and agent discussions dominate attention, but they lack the same forced action window.

**Takeaway**: Build a five-minute DNS root KSK-2024 readiness checker today; ship a public one-page audit before October 11.

**Counter-view**: Cloudflare 1.1.1.1 and Google Public DNS already auto-rotate via RFC 5011, so most users may not need to act.

### Q16. Why not the other two candidate directions?
**Signal**: HN 'Docker Agent' scored 279 with 129 comments (id=82305); HN 'I gave Opus 5.5 one prompt and six hours to visualize Invisible Cities' scored 189 with 109 comments (id=82576); HN 'GPT-6 and Intelligent UI for everyone' scored 713 with 418 comments (id=82302).

**Analysis**: The two alternative directions are AI agent-runtime safety and AI model visual/design demos. Docker Agent, AgentGuard, Termaxa, and similar launches already crowd the agent safety/runtime surface, while Opus 5.5 and GPT-6 visualization posts are high-attention but low-urgency content plays. Neither has a five-day external deadline like the DNS KSK rotation.

**Takeaway**: Defer agent-runtime safety tooling and pass on model-visualization demos; spend the two hours on the DNS KSK deadline instead.

**Counter-view**: Docker Agent's 279 points and AgentGuard/Termaxa Product Hunt launches show real distribution; the DNS post has only 2 comments, so urgency may not equal willingness to pay.

### Q17. What is the fastest validation step?
**Signal**: Dev.to KSK-2024 article says 'Three checks, five minutes' and scores 8.0/10 with 2 comments (id=82295).

**Analysis**: The fastest validation is to run the exact checks the article describes: query the resolver for DNSKEY, verify RFC 5011 auto-rollover behavior, and check authoritative versus recursive consistency. Publish the pass/fail table as a shareable page and ask five network engineers or MSPs to run it on their own resolvers.

**Takeaway**: Ship a five-minute dig/delv script against 10 public resolvers and three customer resolvers, then publish the pass/fail table with a waitlist.

**Counter-view**: Cloudflare 1.1.1.1 and Google Public DNS already pass, so a table full of green checks may not create urgency or inbound demand.

### Q18. What product should this become over the weekend?
**Signal**: Dev.to KSK-2024 article scored 8.0/10 with 2 comments and deadline October 11 (id=82295).

**Analysis**: The weekend product should be a DNS Root KSK-2024 Readiness & Rollover Monitor. Scope: one-page scan for resolver RFC 5011 support, DNSKEY/DS consistency, and DoH/DoT path readiness; then email/Slack alerts before the next rollover and a simple history view for audits.

**Takeaway**: Ship 'KSK-2024 Readiness Checker' over the weekend: a free scan plus paid monitoring for legacy resolvers, managed DNS, and MSPs.

**Counter-view**: DNSViz and Verisign already provide DNSSEC debugging, so without unique alerting and team workflows the product becomes a free utility rather than a paid service.

### Q19. How should initial pricing and packaging look?
**Signal**: Dev.to KSK-2024 article scored 8.0/10 with 2 comments and frames the core work as 'Three checks, five minutes' (id=82295).

**Analysis**: Start with a free five-minute scan to maximize top-of-funnel before October 11. Charge $19/month per domain for daily rollover monitoring, Slack/email alerts, and 30-day history. Add a $99/month team plan for up to 10 domains, audit export, and shared alert routing.

**Takeaway**: Ship a free five-minute scan, $19/month per-domain monitoring, and a $99/month team plan; pre-sell with a five-day countdown.

**Counter-view**: Cloudflare and Google Public DNS auto-handle RFC 5011 for free, and DNSViz is free, so $19/month may be a hard sell outside MSPs and compliance-driven teams.

### Q20. What is the strongest counter-view?
**Signal**: Dev.to KSK-2024 post scored 8.0/10 but only 2 comments (id=82295); HN AI model topics scored 713 with 418 comments and 977 with 457 comments (ids=82302, 82300).

**Analysis**: The strongest counter-view is that technical urgency may not translate into paid demand. The KSK post has only 2 comments despite the 8.0 score, while AI model topics attract 418 to 457 comments. Most resolvers may auto-rotate, leaving only legacy/self-hosted environments as buyers, and attention is elsewhere.

**Takeaway**: Watch early engagement: if the free checker gets fewer than 50 scans or 5 replies in 24 hours, defer the paid build and keep it as a lead magnet for an MSP/DNS monitoring service.

**Counter-view**: Cloudflare 1.1.1.1 and Google Public DNS already implement RFC 5011 auto-rollover, so the addressable paid market may be only legacy/self-hosted resolvers; the 2 comments on the 8.0 Dev.to post signal low developer urgency.


## Action Plan

**2-Hour Build**: Write a single `PreToolUse` hook (Claude Code syntax first, then Codex and `docker agent` against the same JSON contract) that intercepts every Bash/Write/Edit/MCP call, runs a dry-run — `git diff --no-index` for writes, `docker run --rm --network none` plus shellcheck for commands — prints a one-screen blast radius naming the exact files, hosts and env vars involved, and requires y/n. Append every decision to `~/.preflight/ledger.jsonl` with timestamp, agent, tool, hashed args and verdict. Ship

**Why This Wins**: It rides distribution you don't own: hook configs already exist for Claude Code, Codex and Docker Agent, so install is one command and zero integration work. It produces the only artifact that survives an internal review — a ledger of reviewed actions — and it degrades gracefully: even when the dry-run is imprecise, the user still gets the record.

**Why Not Alternatives**:
- Full red-team suites like ARTEX are the wrong shape: they simulate attacks at enterprise scope, require written authorization, and cannot be sold out of a weekend repo.
- Sandboxes (Docker, gVisor, microVMs) isolate correctly but emit no approval record, so they don't answer the question security and finance ask after the fact.
- Skill scanners like AgentGuard run once at install; the expensive call happens on day 40 at 3am, when nothing is re-scanning.
- MCP test harnesses like SineFrame M3 validate the server inside pytest, not the single call an agent is about to make against your production repository.

**Fastest Validation**: Run the hook on your own repos for 72 hours, then publish the aggregate — what share of tool calls were file writes, what share touched network or credentials — as a short post with the redacted log attached. DM the ten loudest commenters in the Docker Agent thread. Success = 3 of them install the hook and still have it enabled a week later; anything less means the pain is in previews, not approvals.

**Weekend Expansion**: Turn the rules file into versioned policy packs (Terraform, kubectl, SQL, package managers, curl | sh), add a phone approval channel via Slack or ntfy, chain
