# Careful Mode

## When to Use

- Production infrastructure or shared environments.
- Destructive operations with expensive rollback.
- Temporary high-friction protection without making all hooks stricter.

## Script

- `node scripts/careful-mode.js enable`: activates `careful-mode` for the
  current Claude session.
- `node scripts/careful-mode.js status`: reports activation, state location,
  and armed guards.
- `node scripts/careful-mode.js disable`: deactivates the mode.

Flags: `--session <id>` targets another session; `--json` prints
machine-readable output.

## Guarded Operations

While active, the `PreToolUse` router blocks the Bash operations defined by
`CAREFUL_MODE_GUARDS` in `hooks/scripts/lib/hook-router/careful-mode-rules.js`.
That module is the authoritative list; the description names each guard's
`summary`, and the hook router coverage check fails when one is missing.

## Gotchas

- The guards are a focused blocklist, not a production policy engine.
- Disable the mode when the risky window ends.
- Mode state is session-scoped; check `status` before claiming it is armed or
  disabled.
- Without `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA}`, mode state falls back to temp storage.

## Completion Check

Before claiming the risky window was guarded, report:

- The command used to enable the mode.
- The `status` evidence before the risky operation.
- Whether any guarded command was blocked or allowed.
- The `status` evidence after disabling the mode.
