The first full gate.cat launch release: a free, local veto layer for AI coding agents, plus optional zero-knowledge Cloud evidence.

What ships

  • 71 default policy walls and 73 presets across destructive shell, cloud, identity, database, billing and secret-handling actions.
  • Secret-exfiltration hard block: catches secret/private-key material flowing into network or mail sinks while preserving public keys, templates and ordinary sends.
  • Cloud lifecycle correctness: duplicate billing events mint one key; expired subscriptions revoke access; reactivation issues a replacement.
  • Safer installers: PEP 668-friendly Linux and Windows setup without modifying system Python.
  • Consistent launch surface: one pricing model and checkout map across the website, README and pricing reference.

Reproducible release gates

  • 1863 passed, 27 skipped, 0 failed locally.
  • CI green on Python 3.11, 3.12 and 3.13.
  • 43/43 known danger classes neutralized; 0/13 benign twins false-blocked.
  • Bypass suite: 178/178 claimed dangers caught, with one known gap and one benign false-block explicitly printed.
  • Clean install verified from the public PyPI wheel.

Install safely

Download the installer first so you can inspect it before execution:

curl -fsSL https://gate.cat/install.sh -o /tmp/gatecat-install.sh
sh /tmp/gatecat-install.sh

Honest boundary

The gate is certain only about what it blocks. An unmatched action is unchecked, not verified safe. Local protection remains free forever; Cloud is optional.
