TRIGGUARD USE CASE / DEVOPS

// Lead with the threat, solve with the receipt

DevOps execution governance

Coders and SREs already know the failure mode: an agent or pipeline with credentials to mutate production—Terraform, Kubernetes, cloud IAM—is a blast-radius multiplier. A green CI badge is not a substitute for a signed authorization decision on that specific apply.

The blast radius

One bad plan or one poisoned tool output can open security groups, drop databases, or promote a build to the wrong region. "We will roll back" is an availability story, not a control. You need a deterministic permit on the path to the API that does the damage.

The TrigGuard interlock

Model each dangerous integration as a surface—for example ci.deploy or infra.terraform_apply. The runtime calls TrigGuard before the IaC or cloud client runs. Output is PERMIT, DENY, or SILENCE plus a receipt. Wire this into GitHub Actions and your agents so SILENCE maps to a hard stop, not a silent continue.
