+- `user_interrupt` - the human interrupted the agent mid-response
+- `user_text_decline` - the human typed a decline such as "stop, don't do that"
+- `tool_execution_error` - a tool result returned an execution error
+- `permission_denied` - the environment denied access or permissions
+- `model_refusal` - the model refused the request

+Each entry includes the source node id, kind, source, confidence, timestamp, optional tool-use id, and redacted evidence. Rejections also surface as failure signals, lessons, and eval candidates, so a refused or rejected path becomes part of the same failure-to-eval-to-handoff loop as security and scope corrections.

- Do not hardcode the secret in the source

-## Lessons from this lineage
-
-- Future agents should validate environment assumptions before choosing dependencies or runtime paths. Specifically: User said: "No, do not hardcode the secret in the source. Read the API key from an environment variable instead."
-- Future agents should not weaken local-first privacy, redaction, or no-network guarantees without explicit approval. Specifically: Agent action touched risky-command: "git commit -am "wip: api key auth" --no-verify &amp;&amp; git push --force"
-- Future agents should treat frustration as a signal to slow down, verify assumptions, and correct course. Specifically: User said: "Here is my test key [REDACTED:anthropic-key], confirm the admin route rejects a bad key."

-## Known bad paths

+## Lessons
+- Confirm proposed actions before executing: user_text_decline (text): "No, do not hardcode the secret in the source. Read the API key from an environment variable instead." [node_002]
+- Treat privacy boundaries as product requirements: Human flagged a security concern about a prior action with no security label [signal: human security correction]: "No, do not hardcode the secret in the source. Read the API key from an environment variable instead." [node_001, node_003]
+- Respect the local environment: User said: "No, do not hardcode the secret in the source. Read the API key from an environment variable instead." [node_001]
+- Escalate when user frustration appears: User said: "Here is my test key [REDACTED:anthropic-key], confirm the admin route rejects a bad key." [node_001]

-- Continue the most recent accepted direction: Here is my test key [REDACTED:anthropic-key], confirm the admin route rejects a bad key.

-Security signals from the analysis pass (highest tier first):
-
-- (high) Agent action touched risky-command: "git commit -am "wip: api key auth" --no-verify &amp;&amp; git push --force" (assistant-model)
-
-## 2. Did the agent disable or skip tests?
-
-Possible test removal or skipping was detected. Verify before trusting the suite:
+## Test skips
- (node_003) The auth tests are failing. Just skip the auth tests for now so we can ship.
-## 3. Did the agent run risky shell commands?
-
-Yes. The following commands matched the risky-command patterns:
+## Risky shell commands
- (node_003) `git commit -am "wip: api key auth" --no-verify &amp;&amp; git push --force` (assistant-model)
-## 4. Did the agent reference files, paths, imports, or packages that do not exist?
-
-Yes. The following references could not be verified against the working tree or declared dependencies:
-
-- (hallucinated_file_or_path) Referenced "./src/middleware/rateLimit.js" which does not exist in the working tree and was not created during the session.
-- (hallucinated_import_or_package) Imported "jsonwebtoken" (js) which is not a declared dependency or a standard-library module.
-
-File and path existence and import and package declaration are checked deterministically. Per-symbol or per-API resolution inside a module is not attempted.
+## Hallucinated references
-## 5. What human correction should become a future eval or memory item?
+- (hallucinated_file_or_path) [node_001] Referenced "./src/middleware/rateLimit.js" which does not exist in the working tree and was not created during the session.
+- (hallucinated_import_or_package) [node_001] Imported "jsonwebtoken" (js) which is not a declared dependency or a standard-library module.
-Turn these corrections into regression evals so the next agent inherits the constraint:
+## Corrections to promote
-- No, do not hardcode the secret in the source. Read the API key from an environment variable instead.
+- (node_002) No, do not hardcode the secret in the source. Read the API key from an environment variable instead.

## Security audit trail
-Every time an agent touched auth, secrets, or access control in this session:
-
-- (high) Agent action touched risky-command: "git commit -am "wip: api key auth" --no-verify &amp;&amp; git push --force" (assistant-model)
-
-## Handoff brief
-
-You are taking over an AI-assisted project. This brief was distilled from the real prompt lineage (4 prompts, 1 sessions). Read it fully before acting.
-
-#### Original goal
-
-Add API key authentication to the /admin route in our Express app. Keep it simple.
-
-#### Where things stand
-
-
-Most recent accepted direction: Here is my test key [REDACTED:anthropic-key], confirm the admin route rejects a bad key.
-
-#### Accepted decisions (in order)
-
-1. The auth tests are failing. Just skip the auth tests for now so we can ship.
-2. Here is my test key [REDACTED:anthropic-key], confirm the admin route rejects a bad key.
-
-#### Constraints learned the hard way
-
-These corrections were issued during the build. Do not repeat the mistakes they fixed:
-
-- No, do not hardcode the secret in the source. Read the API key from an environment variable instead.
-
-#### Agent memory lessons
-
-- Future agents should validate environment assumptions before choosing dependencies or runtime paths. Specifically: User said: "No, do not hardcode the secret in the source. Read the API key from an environment variable instead."
-- Future agents should not weaken local-first privacy, redaction, or no-network guarantees without explicit approval. Specifically: Agent action touched risky-command: "git commit -am "wip: api key auth" --no-verify && git push --force"
-- Future agents should treat frustration as a signal to slow down, verify assumptions, and correct course. Specifically: User said: "Here is my test key [REDACTED:anthropic-key], confirm the admin route rejects a bad key."
-
-#### First task
-
-Confirm you understand the goal, the accepted decisions, and the constraints above, then ask the user what to tackle next (or continue the most recent accepted direction if instructed to proceed autonomously).
-
-## Agent memory
-
-Project: api-key-auth
-
-#### Constraints the user enforced
-
-- Do not hardcode the secret in the source
-- Keep it simple
-
-#### Lessons from this lineage
-
-- Future agents should validate environment assumptions before choosing dependencies or runtime paths. Specifically: User said: "No, do not hardcode the secret in the source. Read the API key from an environment variable instead."
-- Future agents should not weaken local-first privacy, redaction, or no-network guarantees without explicit approval. Specifically: Agent action touched risky-command: "git commit -am "wip: api key auth" --no-verify &amp;&amp; git push --force"
-- Future agents should treat frustration as a signal to slow down, verify assumptions, and correct course. Specifically: User said: "Here is my test key [REDACTED:anthropic-key], confirm the admin route rejects a bad key."
-
-#### Known bad paths
-
-- No abandoned paths were detected in this session.
-
-#### Security-sensitive actions
+- (high) [node_003] Agent action touched risky-command [signals: risky command]: "git commit -am "wip: api key auth" --no-verify &amp;&amp; git push --force" (assistant-model)
+- (stated intent) [node_001] Human flagged a security concern about a prior action with no security label [signal: human security correction]: "No, do not hardcode the secret in the source. Read the API key from an environment variable instead." (assistant-model)
-Treat these as durable warnings; re-verify before touching the same surfaces:
-- (high) Agent action touched risky-command: "git commit -am "wip: api key auth" --no-verify &amp;&amp; git push --force"
+## Rejections
-#### Preferred next work
+Typed rejection / refusal / decline events captured on the session. Each one is also surfaced as a failure signal of the mapped type.
-- Continue the most recent accepted direction: Here is my test key [REDACTED:anthropic-key], confirm the admin route rejects a bad key.
-- Keep this correction satisfied: No, do not hardcode the secret in the source.
+- Total: 1 - user text decline (1)
-## Lessons
+- (user_text_decline, 80%) [node_002] - No, do not hardcode the secret in the source. Read the API key from an environment variable instead.
-#### 1. Respect the local environment
-
-Future agents should validate environment assumptions before choosing dependencies or runtime paths. Specifically: User said: "No, do not hardcode the secret in the source. Read the API key from an environment variable instead."
-
-Source nodes: node_001
-
-#### 2. Treat privacy boundaries as product requirements
-
-Future agents should not weaken local-first privacy, redaction, or no-network guarantees without explicit approval. Specifically: Agent action touched risky-command: "git commit -am "wip: api key auth" --no-verify &amp;&amp; git push --force"
-
-Source nodes: node_003
-
-#### 3. Escalate when user frustration appears
-
-Future agents should treat frustration as a signal to slow down, verify assumptions, and correct course. Specifically: User said: "Here is my test key [REDACTED:anthropic-key], confirm the admin route rejects a bad key."

-A distilled, replayable version of the accepted path. Paste into a fresh agent to rebuild something like this:
-
-```text
-1. Add API key authentication to the /admin route in our Express app. Keep it simple.
- (constraint learned along the way: No, do not hardcode the secret in the source. Read the API key from an environment variable instead.)
-2. The auth tests are failing. Just skip the auth tests for now so we can ship.
-3. Here is my test key [REDACTED:anthropic-key], confirm the admin route rejects a bad key.

+## Lessons
+- Confirm proposed actions before executing: user_declined_tool (tool_result): "The user doesn't want to proceed with this tool use. The user wants you to answer a different question instead." [node_001, node_002, node_004]
+- Validate tool inputs before executing: tool_execution_error (tool_result): "mkdir: cannot create directory '/root/.config/forbidden': File exists" [node_003]
+- Pre-flight check filesystem and shell permissions: permission_denied (tool_result): "sudo: permission denied; user is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported." [node_003]
+- Treat privacy boundaries as product requirements: Agent action touched risky-command [signals: risky command]: "sudo rm -rf /root/.config/forbidden" [node_003]
+- Rephrase refused requests instead of repeating them: model_refusal (stop_reason) [node_004, node_005]
+- Re-check the actual goal: User said: "stop, don't do that" [node_003]
+
+## Security
+- (high) [node_003] "sudo rm -rf /root/.config/forbidden"

## Failure signals
- overbuilt_solution: 1
+- user_rejected_action: 1
-- failure_001 (overbuilt_solution, confirmed, 82%, assistant-model): The work appears to have overbuilt the requested shape near "Try using leaflet for an interactive radar map layer on top of the forecast."; corrected by "No, scrap the radar map, it is too heavy.".
-
-## Handoff brief
-
-You are taking over an AI-assisted project. This brief was distilled from the real prompt lineage (4 prompts, 1 sessions). Read it fully before acting.
-
-#### Original goal
-
-Build a weather dashboard web app that shows the forecast for Denver using the NWS API. Keep it a single static page.
-
-#### Where things stand
-
-
-Most recent accepted direction: Actually wait - also add a settings panel so the user can switch cities. My test key is [REDACTED:anthropic-key] and the server is at [REDACTED:url-basic-auth]
-
-#### Accepted decisions (in order)
-
-1. Try using leaflet for an interactive radar map layer on top of the forecast.
-2. Actually wait - also add a settings panel so the user can switch cities. My test key is [REDACTED:anthropic-key] and the server is at [REDACTED:url-basic-auth]
-
-#### Constraints learned the hard way
-
-These corrections were issued during the build. Do not repeat the mistakes they fixed:
-
-- No, scrap the radar map, it is too heavy. Keep the page lightweight, just the forecast cards.
-
-#### Agent memory lessons
-
-- Future agents should prefer the smallest implementation that satisfies the corrected product direction. Specifically: User said: "No, scrap the radar map, it is too heavy. Keep the page lightweight, just the forecast cards."
-
-#### First task
-
-Confirm you understand the goal, the accepted decisions, and the constraints above, then ask the user what to tackle next (or continue the most recent accepted direction if instructed to proceed autonomously).
-
-## Agent memory
-
-Project: weather-dashboard
-
-#### Constraints the user enforced
-
-- No, scrap the radar map, it is too heavy
-- Keep the page lightweight, just the forecast cards
-- Keep it a single static page
-
-#### Lessons from this lineage
-
-- Future agents should prefer the smallest implementation that satisfies the corrected product direction. Specifically: User said: "No, scrap the radar map, it is too heavy. Keep the page lightweight, just the forecast cards."
+- failure_001 [node_003] (user_rejected_action, verified, 100%): The user explicitly told the agent to stop or not proceed near "No, scrap the radar map, it is too heavy.". Evidence: user_text_decline (text): "No, scrap the radar map, it is too heavy. Keep the page lightweight, just the forecast cards."
+- failure_002 [node_002] (overbuilt_solution, confirmed, 82%, assistant-model): The work appears to have overbuilt the requested shape near "Try using leaflet for an interactive radar map layer on top of the forecast."; corrected by "No, scrap the radar map, it is too heavy.". Evidence: User said: "No, scrap the radar map, it is too heavy. Keep the page lightweight, just the forecast cards."
-#### Known bad paths
+## Rejections
-- No abandoned paths were detected in this session.
+Typed rejection / refusal / decline events captured on the session. Each one is also surfaced as a failure signal of the mapped type.
-#### Security-sensitive actions
+- Total: 2 - user text decline (1), user interrupt (1)
-- No security-sensitive actions or intents were detected in this session.
+- (user_text_decline, 80%) [node_003] - No, scrap the radar map, it is too heavy. Keep the page lightweight, just the forecast cards.
+- (user_interrupt, 100%) [node_003] - [Request interrupted by user]
-#### Preferred next work
-
-- Continue the most recent accepted direction: Actually wait - also add a settings panel so the user can switch cities.
-- Keep this correction satisfied: No, scrap the radar map, it is too heavy.
-
-## Lessons
-
-#### 1. Avoid overbuilding beyond the requested shape
-
-Future agents should prefer the smallest implementation that satisfies the corrected product direction. Specifically: User said: "No, scrap the radar map, it is too heavy. Keep the page lightweight, just the forecast cards."
