§01 / DEFINITION · one_paragraph · verbatim
WHAT THIS IS
HANGDOG is the nondeployable workspace seat — caps for read/write/test/review — with a shell/pretool gate that hard-denies ship-shaped commands from WIP and points the agent to the SEND tip.

WIP WORK LIT
read/write/test/review caps allow. Feature-branch push may allow.
SHIP HELD
deploy/push-to-publishing/release denied. Message points to SEND tip.
SPARSENESS: no hangdog package folder. Gate is hooks+manifest. Client-sim only on this page.
§06 / SURFACE · SURFACE · hooks not MCP
SURFACE · hooks not MCP
SPARSENESS · not triad
HANGDOG is not an MCP triad member. Surface is shell/pretool hooks (Cursor + Claude adapters) over a pure evaluate(command,cwd). No mutating live try-deny sandbox on this showcase.

IS
- Nondeployable workspace + shell/pretool gate
- Caps read/write/test/review
- Hard pair: WIP never ships
- cd-follow + wrapper depth deny
- Fail-open honesty on unparseable non-ship
ISN'T
- Tip/public app face
- Deploy/push/release caps
- Optional soft warning
- MCP triad member
- Mutating live try-deny

END OF TRANSCRIPT
Nondeployable WIP seat — hard-deny ship; tip only via SEND.
Showcase · not an install surface. Suite peers acknowledged — not absorbed.
