said in the render's answer. What was registered before is still rendered and may be unregistered.
**An instruction section may be proposed for the operator's approval** (hq ADR 0274). An agent calls
`claude_code_instructions_propose` with a scope (`mesh`, or `node` and the nodes), a name and the text — a rule, a
hand-over, the context a later session needs — or with `remove` for a section approved before. Nothing becomes
active: the proposal is kept in the module's `proposals` state and the operator is asked through the operator
channel (`operator-channel`, hq ADR 0259) with Approve and Decline, both at the level approve, so only a channel that
proves who answered (Telegram) carries either. The phone shows the whole text when it is short and every line may
leave the mesh, else its first lines and a fingerprint; the whole text is read at the controller's terminal with
`mesh-cli ask claude-code claude_code_proposals '{"id": "<id>"}'`. Decline, or no answer within a day, discards it.
**Every node proves the approval itself**: it reads the router's own record of the ask under this module's name,
judges the record as this module would have made it, composes the ask again from the proposal and holds the warrant to it (the same ask digest, the option's bound act,
the text's digest, in time), and only then writes the section into its own `approved.json`, which the managed
instruction file renders under "Instructions the operator approved". A proposal is decided once per node, and an approval older than the last change applied to its section is never applied; a record
deleted from the bus removes nothing. Refused: shell lines, front matter, any `@` after a non-letter (a file the instruction file may read in), invisible or control characters, headings of level one to three, anything shaped like
a secret, more than 16 KiB, a name the terminal sets, and — at once, naming the terminal's line — whenever no channel
that proves its sender is there. The controller's hand-act log records each warrant once (`warranted`), read from the
router's record. The text is never logged.
The home scope is registered through the tools **only where the home belongs to an agent account of its own**
(hq ADR 0266, issue 340), and only for the node whose module serves the call. Where the agent runs as the operator,
the home is the operator's own `~/.claude`, whose rules and skills load in every session the operator starts, and
