## Overview 
 
This project implements a **Model Context Protocol (MCP) server** that acts as 
an architectural gatekeeper between an AI coding agent and the file system. 
 
Its purpose is simple: 
 
> **An AI is not allowed to edit code unless it has demonstrated awareness of 
the consequences and obtained explicit human approval.** 
 
The server enforces this rule procedurally, not heuristically. 
 
--- 
 
## Why this exists 
 
Modern AI coding assistants can generate and apply code changes faster than 
humans can reliably reason about their impact. 
 
This creates a dangerous asymmetry: 
- the AI can *act immediately* 
- the human can only *review after the fact* 
 
In practice, this leads to: 
- silent breaking changes 
- accidental dependency violations 
- refactors without understanding downstream effects 
 
This project explores a different model. 
 
**The AI must stop. Explain. Ask. And wait.** 
 
Only then is it allowed to modify code.

### 🧠 Philosophy: Architectural Control over AI Action 
 
This project is intentionally not focused on making AI “smarter”. 
 
Instead, it explores a different question: 
 
> What architectural constraints are required 
> when an AI system is allowed to act on real code? 
 
Most AI coding tools optimize for fluency and speed. 
This project optimizes for **procedural awareness**. 
 
The core assumption is simple: 
AI systems do not lack intelligence —   
they lack **structural incentives to pause, explain, and verify**. 
 
The Edit Approval State Machine introduces such a structure. 
 
It forces the AI to: 
- stop before acting 
- externalize its assumptions 
- acknowledge dependencies 
- wait for explicit hu…
