| Docker process isolation closes the host-takeover threat, but the agent inside still has a real shell on real bind-mounts and a working network. What changes is the blast radius, not the gating layer: destructive verbs still execute. The autonomous-install-the-stack workflow is a sharp case. An agent walking unfamiliar README steps will run a `curl ... | sh` line if it sees one, and Docker contains the fallout without questioning the call. | ||

| A PreToolUse hook is the layer that rejects intent before dispatch. `block-curl-pipe-sh` is the built-in for that exact case: it refuses Bash that pipes a curl or wget download into sh. Pairs with what Armorer is doing: Armorer holds the host boundary, the hook decides whether the call should fire at all. | ||

Add a language tag to the fenced block to satisfy markdownlint (MD040).
Line 17 starts an unlabeled fenced code block. Please label it (for example, text) to clear the lint warning.
