Halt the desk through risk.kill_switch set or flatten_request, read state through risk.halt_status, and clear only through the human CLI path.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Kill Switch

## L1 - Summary

The kill switch halts the desk. RISK sets it with the `risk.kill_switch` tool (`set` or `flatten_request` only); CHIEF watches it with `risk.halt_status`. The switch can be set from the environment at start, or from the `var/desk/KILLSWITCH` file (the one latch path; an alert KILL from an allowlisted Telegram chat writes this same file). Clearing is CLI-only with a human-signed record; no skill and no seat clears the switch.

```
threat seen -> RISK set (or file/env/alert trips it) -> halt: no new tickets
flatten_request -> in-flight orders settle, open positions close with reason
clear -> pumpgrok killswitch clear --by <human> --reason <text> only
```

## L2 - Method

1. S1 - Read the state first: call `risk.halt_status` to learn whether the desk is halted and which source tripped it (tool action, file, environment, or alert channel). CHIEF polls this every cycle.
2. S2 - Set on danger: RISK calls `risk.kill_switch` with `action=set` on a confirmed threat (suspected rug in inventory, daily-loss breach, integrity failure). The action enum accepts only `set` and `flatten_request`; `clear` is a validation error.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add swcstudiospace/pumpgrok/kill-switch@sha256:11cdcab6ae5d220e

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261023.98848e3, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
