AccordRail: A Refusal Layer for Local Software Work
AccordRail is a local governance layer that checks AI-assisted software work against a human-approved design, scope, and completion criteria.
Field notes
AccordRail organizes its controls around four concepts: a human-approved specification, bounded work ownership, deterministic gates, and measured evidence. The homepage illustrates the gate with a denied dependency from src/domain/rules.ts to src/ui/format.ts, followed by two proposed remedies and a “file not written” result. It lists Windows x64 and Linux x64 support and reports local-only handling, including 0 bytes of external transmission in its measurement panel.
