fix(optics): remove Gate-era enforcement from Optics - #147
Merged

Conversation
Optics records destination, process, size, timing, and status. It does not fetch policy, block hosts, apply a spend cap, redact requests, or rewrite curl, wget, httpie, or aria2c. A VANTIO_API_KEY is not sent for enforcement. If that key is set, Optics says enforcement is provided by Phantom Engine and the call still proceeds. The gate-mcp preview no longer names a block. This MCP does not decide host, size, or spend outcomes. CANDIDATE_ONLY. Not published.
…nd assumption The live path already returns before those tails. Spawn tests now check that a present httpie or aria2c binary does not fetch Gate config. The stale-name inventory records that the BLOCKED_HOST sight_loop assertions left with that event. CANDIDATE_ONLY. Not published.
fetch_policy no longer calls the control plane or sends the API key. redact_pii returns the original text. Both say enforcement is provided by Phantom Engine. The gate-mcp preview tail after the observational return is gone. CANDIDATE_ONLY. Not published.
httpie and aria2c are stopped within two seconds. tls.connect no longer waits on a socket the plain TCP sink will not close. runAgent kills a child that is still up after eight seconds, so one open handle cannot hold the suite. CANDIDATE_ONLY. Not published.
Optics stays observe-only. The CLI no longer carries a constant-true FREE_MODE switch or the host, size, and spend arms behind it. Python _dispatch_gate and _apply_cli_gate only handle pass and observe. Co-authored-by: VantioAi <zach@vantio.ai>
VANTIO_SUMMARY stays a runtime read so the env catalog still matches the CLI. The two sight_loop comments left with the deleted ingest body, so the interceptor is no longer frozen stale-name debt. Co-authored-by: VantioAi <zach@vantio.ai>
The observe path no longer carries unused redaction helpers, block/dry-run ingest labels, or GateBlockedError. Calls are recorded as observations and are not rewritten. Co-authored-by: VantioAi <zach@vantio.ai>

CANDIDATE_ONLY. No npm publish, no PyPI publish, and no install.vantio.ai go-live.
Optics is observational only. This PR removes remaining Gate-era enforcement / dead FREE_MODE arms so Optics records destination, process, size, timing, and status and never blocks, delays, rewrites, or waits on policy.
Kate queue
In Optics batch after #142 and #144. Order: #142 → #144 → #145 → #147 → #146 → #148.
Approve exact head only (kvantio). No admin bypass.
Current head:
bfd4dff7acee84b9862895b417cc0d154c95e74cCI on this tip: 8/8 green (post-rebase onto main after #140/#141).
Independent council: PASS_WITH_NONBLOCKING_NOTES (read-only; not a kvantio APPROVE).
What this does
FREE_MODEconstant removed; host/size/spend arms that followedif (FREE_MODE) return "observe"removed._decidereturns onlypassorobserve._dispatch_gateand_apply_cli_gateno longer contain block or dry-run arms; spawned CLI argv is left as written.Installer pins unchanged (CLI 0.3.24 / Python 3.1.0). Nothing published. No history rewrite.
Do not merge until CI green, independent council PASS or PASS_WITH_NONBLOCKING_NOTES, and exact-head kvantio APPROVE.
