Andy Dixon b35dbe0299 security: add the capability and policy layer as the only path to action
Phase 12 (ADR-0005). Capabilities are registered in code with parameter
schemas, risk classes and default effects; sudo_shell and delete_database
are locked to DENY and cannot be relaxed. Policies are scoped globally or
per mind with capability, target glob, action kind and optional hour
window; evaluation is deterministic, most specific wins, and ties go to
the stricter effect. Invoke is the single entry point: it refuses
dreaming and replay contexts, validates parameters (unknown keys, non
http URLs and path traversal rejected), evaluates policy and session
grants, hashes the exact request and records a policy_decision event.
ALLOW executes with timeout and panic isolation and turns textual output
into a tool-trust observation; ASK creates an approval request bound to
the hash with an alert notification; DENY is counted and recorded.

Operators approve once, approve for a time-boxed session grant, deny
with a note, or modify parameters (re-validated, re-hashed, original
kept in the append-only decision log). The self-model's capability list
is recomputed from effective policy on start and on every policy change.
The act process maps fetch requests to http.fetch and the action handler
invokes through the layer; replies report capabilities and outcomes.

Policy matrix and approval centre pages, dashboard count, API, CLI
(approvals, policy, invoke) and docs/capabilities.md.

# Changelog
All notable changes to Noema are recorded here. Format follows Keep a Changelog; versions follow SemVer.
## [Unreleased]
### Added
- Phase 12 capabilities: single policy-governed action path with ALLOW/ASK/DENY rules, locked capabilities, request-bound approvals (once, session, modified), tool output as tool-trust observations, self-model synchronisation, approval centre and policy matrix.
- Phase 11 relationship graph: mind-scoped entities with aliases, evidenced typed edges, links to memories/beliefs/events, deterministic extraction from conversation and observations, merge/distinct corrections, bounded canvas explorer, API and CLI.
- Phase 10 background cognition: metacognitive self-checks, scheduled reflection with lessons, episode consolidation into evidenced generalisations with operator review, internal narrative, thresholded notifications with aggregation.
- Phase 9 motivation: goal tree with attention relevance, closed drive set and rule-driven affect state with decay and weight modulation, explicit predictions with deterministic resolution, prediction errors feeding beliefs, calibration dashboard, curiosity questions becoming investigation goals.
- Phase 8 conversation (milestone M1): messages become observations, deterministic perception with optional model enrichment, claims become evidenced beliefs, grounded introspective answers from real state, model or deterministic wording with full provenance, chat UI, `noemactl ask`, sample mind Dani with a strict seed import, and an end-to-end acceptance test.
- Phase 7 LLM layer: provider-neutral router with roles and fallbacks, OpenAI-compatible/Anthropic/Ollama providers, encrypted secret references, SSRF-safe HTTP client, budgets, full call recording with replay, versioned prompts with untrusted data blocks, configuration and prompt manager UI, CLI.
- Phase 6 beliefs: evidence-derived confidence with inspectable arithmetic, statuses, alternatives, append-only history, deterministic contradiction detection, temporal-association hypotheses, operator corrections (wrong, do-not-infer, inaccurate memory), belief explorer and CLI.
- Phase 5 memory: episodic/semantic/procedural/autobiographical memory with epistemic status, fused retrieval with inspectable component scores, optional pgvector embeddings, decay without deletion, attention-gated encoding, retrieval process, memory explorer and CLI.
- Phase 4 cognition core: deterministic attention scoring with inspectable breakdowns, global workspace and working memory with decay, per-mind cognitive runtime with bounded concurrent processes, loop detection, operator controls, live workspace page and CLI.
- Phase 3 events: append-only cognitive event store with provenance links, filtered queries, durable cursors, live SSE streams with resume, forensic event explorer UI, thought stream page, operator observations and CLI.
- Phase 2 minds: structured personalities with append-only version history, diff, restore, templates with preserved overrides, self-model, mind lifecycle (create, clone, disable, archive), API, UI editor and CLI.
- Phase 1 foundation: configuration, structured logging, metrics, migrations, local authentication (Argon2id, sessions, CSRF, lockout, roles, API tokens), audit log, JSON API skeleton, server-rendered admin UI with light/dark theme, `noemad` and `noemactl`.
- Repository foundation: plan, architecture, security model, threat model, ADRs, Makefile, container files.
