gate.cat 0.4.16 — full launch
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.shHonest 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.
