ON/OFF and maintenance are saved in this browser only: the core does not enforce them yet (PET-PROGRAM-FRAMEWORK.md, section 4).

Grants are permissions: what each level may read (R), write (W) and run (X) on Mail Shell. They are listed in mail-snail-rwx-panel, below, with whether each one is in code.
No agent keys yet: Iron Gates will issue them and API Fairy will show them (planned).

Should be: what each level may read (R), write (W) and run (X) on Mail Shell. Then whether that is in code:
✓ In code A test, setting or script makes it true, and the grant names that proof (its evidence).⚠︎ Rule only A rule agents agree to follow (AGENTS.md or a skill). Nothing stops someone who breaks it.○ Not built Designed, not built yet.
Who may use Mail Shell
L1Should beRWXa program or tool · its own folder⚠︎ Rule only
RWXItself: its own repo folder and its declared data folder⚠︎ Rule only
Written only: farm-security, section 2. Hub scripts refuse a path outside the pet's folder (scripts/animal-guard-20261013.mjs), but a pet's own program runs as you, so it could reach further.
Next (planned): The Police Station watches every write and every key use.
L1Should beRWXa program or tool · everything else⚠︎ Rule only
RWXKernel Koala (Kernel Grove: process-sweep, service-host-explainer, leftover-watch)⚠︎ Rule only
Written only: Kernel Grove reads through WMI, the IP Helper API and the registry, and writes only its own data folder (its farm event log, saved reports without command lines, its menu and mood files). Nothing enforces this: it runs as you. Asked for on 2026-10-21; Astra approves it by merging.
Next (planned): Iron Gates issues the grant; The Police Station watches that Kernel Grove writes only its own folder.
RWXInference Iguana (Benchmark Rock: gpu-watch, busy-watch)⚠︎ Rule only
Written only: Benchmark Rock reads Windows' GPU performance counters and DXGI, and writes only its own data folder (its farm event log, saved reports with names and numbers only, its menu and mood files); it never stops or changes a program, a driver or a card setting. Nothing enforces this: it runs as you. Asked for on 2026-10-23; Astra approves it by merging.
Next (planned): Iron Gates issues the grant; The Police Station watches that Benchmark Rock writes only its own folder.
RWXLog Lynx (Log Den: crash-catcher, windows-log-reader, heartbeat-checker)⚠︎ Rule only
Written only: Log Den’s own code only reads, and on a .NET crash window presses Details and nothing else (log-den-20261018.cs). It writes only its own data folder. Nothing enforces this: it runs as you. Asked for on 2026-10-18; Astra approves it by merging.
Next (planned): Iron Gates issues the grant; The Police Station watches that Log Den writes only its own folder.
RWXForensic Ferret (Evidence Locker: evidence-collector)⚠︎ Rule only
Written only: evidence-locker-20261018.cs reads and copies into its own cases folder only; it never changes or deletes what it investigates. Nothing enforces this: it runs as you. Asked for on 2026-10-18; Astra approves it by merging.

RWXThe agent in the seat⚠︎ Rule only
Written only: Only animals, and only on a claude/ or codex/ branch, never straight on main (AGENTS.md). Hub scripts check the animal part with scripts/animal-guard-20261013.mjs, on the pet’s own GitHub account (github_owner in pets.json); nothing checks the branch part.
Next (planned): Short-lived session keys from Iron Gates.

What Mail Shell may use
L1+L2+L3RWXIts own repo folder and its declared data folder⚠︎ Rule only
Written only: farm-security, section 2. Hub scripts refuse a path outside the pet's folder (scripts/animal-guard-20261013.mjs), but a pet's own program runs as you, so it could reach further.
Next (planned): The Police Station watches every write and every key use.
L1+L2RWXShared tools, other people's programs and devices⚠︎ Rule only
Written only: One copy of a shared tool, one owner; other pets get a grant: folders, R W X and limits (TOOLS-AND-TRICKS.md). Until Iron Gates is built, a pet asks Astra and the grant is written in both pets' connection boxes.
Next (planned): Iron Gates issues grants and Astra approves them.
L3RWXFarmhands (ring 4)⚠︎ Rule only
Written only: X on a farmhand means sending it a request and reading the answer. Nobody rewrites a model, and only Astra changes her local farmhands. Only farmhands on the allowlist get keys; today they are Astra's own API keys.
Next (planned): Short-lived keys from Iron Gates, shown in API Fairy's mushroom circle; local farmhands bound to this PC with a key.
More details
Each level has two rows: what it may do inside the pet program’s own folder, and everywhere else. A row shows the most that level is allowed there by any rule; open a row to see every rule behind it and its proof. The row’s mark is the least sure of those rules: one “Rule only” makes the whole row “Rule only”. These are the same rules as the System Map card and PROTECTION-RINGS.md, and the build refuses an “In code” mark that names no proof.

The mood Mail Snail is in now lights up (the page knows idle, awake and sad so far). Awake shows the idle face blinking until a picture with open eyes is drawn. Drawings are drafts unless Astra approved them.

More details
Every pet Mail Snail plays with on the System Map, hatched or not, most used first. Use is not measured yet, so the order is the map's: links that work today, then planned, then ideas; within each, the pet they share the most with. A plays_with list in pets.json sets the order instead. Click one to open its pet program.
