What it does
Best-effort guard on the tool channel: blocks sending data to a host outside the allowlist (.chock/egress-allowlist.txt, else a built-in registry list): curl/wget/iwr uploads, nc/socat/telnet, scp/rsync/sftp, ssh commands, aws/gsutil/az uploads, git push|remote add URLs, $(..)/$VAR in a URL or host. Asks on interpreter HTTP one-liners, gh gist/--body-file, curl --proxy/--resolve/Host:. Blocks ~/.curlrc writes. A floor, not a sandbox: other clients, runtimes, obfuscation.
Chock adds friction. It is not a security boundary.

Latest change
0.2.6 · · Hardening (SR-2d2d): the project allowlist search stops at the first directory holding .git and never reads a file above it; with no .git above the working directory only the working directory is searched. A project allowlist that is not owned by the current user, or is group or world writable, is refused like an unusable file (nothing is allowed until it is fixed). Tests: test_egress_allowlist_sr2d2.py. No eval case can drive this: replay has no repository layout or file ownership to set.
