Power needs boundaries.
SYLRA is being designed around explicit permissions, visible actions and user control rather than unrestricted computer access.
Design principle
Deny by default
Tools should declare the permission they need before execution.
Design principle
Approval gates
Sensitive actions should require explicit user approval.
Design principle
Auditability
Requests, plans, actions, results and errors are intended to be logged.
Planned
Rollback
Changes should have a recoverable version, patch or backup before activation where practical.
Planned
Kill switch
A local emergency stop is part of the safety design.
Planned
Offline mode
A mode that disables network/browser tools and permits only local tools is planned.
Important: SYLRA is under development. These are product and engineering design goals, not a certification or a claim that every safeguard is already complete.
What SYLRA should never do
- Silently rewrite its core.
- Grant itself new permissions.
- Extract passwords, cookies or credential stores.
- Install unknown software without user control.
- Upload user data without appropriate approval.
- Run with administrator privileges by default.
- Treat hostile web instructions as trusted commands.
