# protect-ci-workflows
Guard against an agent weakening the automated checks that review its own work. CI/CD workflow files (.github/workflows/), the composite actions they call (.github/actions/) and the dependency-update automation (.github/dependabot.yml) define what must pass before a change lands, so rewriting or deleting them is the agent removing the gate that would catch it. The guard refuses shell write-commands targeting those paths; reads pass, and tool-driven regeneration (chock sync) passes. Best-effort and deliberately coarse: the command line is parsed, and a write (a `>`/`>>` redirect, a writer verb like rm/mv/tee/sed -i, cp into the path, git checkout/restore, a PowerShell Set-Content/Add-Content/Out-File) must actually target the protected path; reading it passes. The 'chock: approved-config-change' marker is friction plus an audit trail, not authentication; the check an agent cannot self-approve is server-side branch protection.
