# THE MUTATOR'S BLINDFOLD
#
# Aider treats this like .gitignore: anything matched here is excluded from the
# files the agent can see or edit. The agent's ENTIRE world is variants/**.
# Everything else — the scorer, the scoreboard, the dispatcher, the publishers,
# CI, secrets config — is invisible to it. This is one of the four walls that
# stop the thing being graded from editing its own grader.
#
# Default-deny: ignore everything, then re-allow only the variant archive.
# ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

# 1) Ignore everything by default.
/*
**/*

# 2) Re-allow ONLY the evolving archive and the contract it must satisfy.
!variants/
!variants/**

# 3) Re-allow the agent's own memory + the experiment summary it rewrites each cycle.
!EXPERIMENTS_LOG.md
!CURRENT_EXPERIMENT.md

# 4) Read-only context the mutator workflow injects (it may read, not the point of edit).
#    MUTATION_PLAN.md is written by the research phase and handed to the coder via --read;
#    without this re-allow the default-deny above would hide it from the implementation agent.

# 5) Belt-and-suspenders: never, ever surface the locked physics, the liveness gate,
#    or secrets — even if a future rule above gets loosened by accident.
#    The locked TESTS are critical: if the agent could edit them, it would "fix" a failing
#    mutation by deleting the test that caught it.
