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

# Version Sentinel — Cross-Agent Instructions

Version Sentinel is a guardrail that prevents stale, hallucinated, or compromised dependency versions from reaching your manifests. Before any dependency is added, bumped, downgraded, or installed, the agent must verify the intended version against its upstream registry and record that check. Checks are stored in `.version-sentinel/checks.json` and expire after a freshness window (default 24h).

## Mandatory startup audit and recovery

Before dependency work, complete the online startup audit. Missing or invalid manifests require Daniel's explicit approval before recovery. The recorder now performs a successful online upstream check itself; URL-only, offline, and post-install records do not authorize changes. Older pins still need online verification and a reason. Follow [the enforcement workflow](docs/enforcement.md) for audit, recovery, and interception limits.

## Required workflow when a dependency change is blocked

If a hook blocks an edit or install (exit 2, `BLOCKED: version-sentinel`), or if you are about to change any dependency on a platform without hooks:

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ksegit/version-sentinel/AGENTS.md@sha256:8079a8617044c0d3

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261104.5a0e549, 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.
