Strict and lenient

Strict, the default, lets an edit through only if the file is in a declared intent. To touch another file the agent declares again, and the new intent adds to the first. Lenient records and reports but stops nothing.

gatebolt init                    # strict
gatebolt init --enforce lenient  # lenient

• Stopped edits are shown in your workspace, on the branch’s page. They are kept beside the record, not in it.
• The gate holds for files declared by path. A glob or a folder lets through everything it covers.
• Git-ignored files, and files outside the repository, pass without being declared.
