+# Banned Providers
+
+This document is a hard policy. It is not advisory. It is not aspirational.
+Any agent, wizard, or automated process that violates this policy is broken
+and must be fixed immediately.
+
+## Permanently Banned
+
+### Anthropic (Claude)
+
+**Status:** BANNED — April 2026
+**Scope:** All configs, fallback chains, playbooks, wizard bootstraps, and fleet scripts.
+**Enforcement:** Pre-commit hook, architecture linter, sovereignty enforcement tests.
+
+No Anthropic model (Claude Opus, Sonnet, Haiku, or any variant) may appear as:
+- A primary provider
+- A fallback provider
+- An OpenRouter model slug (e.g. `anthropic/claude-*`)
+- An API endpoint (api.anthropic.com)
+- A required dependency (`anthropic` pip package)
+- An environment variable (`ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`, `ANTHROPIC_TOKEN`)
+
+### What to use instead
+
+| Was | Now |
+|-----|-----|
+| claude-opus-4-6 | kimi-k2.5 |
+| claude-sonnet-4-20250514 | kimi-k2.5 |
+| claude-haiku | google/gemini-2.5-pro |
+| anthropic (provider) | kimi-coding |
+| anthropic/claude-* (OpenRouter) | google/gemini-2.5-pro |
+| ANTHROPIC_API_KEY | KIMI_API_KEY |
+
+### Exceptions
+
+The following files may reference Anthropic for **historical or defensive** purposes:
+
+- `training/` — Training data must not be altered
+- `evaluations/` — Historical benchmark results
+- `RELEASE_*.md` — Changelogs
+- `metrics_helpers.py` — Historical cost calculation
+- `pre-commit.py` — Detects leaked Anthropic keys (defensive)
+- `secret-scan.yml` — Detects leaked Anthropic keys (defensive)
+- `architecture_linter.py` — Warns/blocks Anthropic usage (enforcement)
+- `test_sovereignty_enforcement.py` — Tests that Anthropic is blocked (enforcement)
+
+### Golden State
+
+```yaml
+fallback_providers:
+  - provider: kimi-coding
+    model: kimi-k2.5
+    reason: Primary
+  - provider: openrouter
+    model: google/gemini-2.5-pro
+    reason: Cloud fallback
+  - provider: ollama
+    model: gemma4:latest
+    base_url: http://localhost:11434/v1
+    reason: Terminal fallback — never phones home
+```

  - Refactors exist to simplify the system, not to create a new design detour.

+
  WORKFLOW:
+
  1. Read the issue body for specific file paths and instructions
+
  2. Understand the current code structure
+
  3. Name the simplification goal before changing code
+
  4. Make the refactoring changes
+
  5. Run formatting and verification with repo-native commands
+
  6. Commit, push, create PR with before/after risk summary

-SAFE-BY-DEFAULT SELF-HEALING SCRIPT
-
-This script checks fleet health and can optionally fix issues.
-
-DEFAULT MODE: DRY-RUN (safe)
-  - Only reports what it would do, does not make changes.
-  - Use --execute to actually perform fixes.
-
-CHECKS PERFORMED:
-  1. llama-server health
-     - Checks if llama-server is responding on each host.
-     - Action: restart service (requires --execute and confirmation).
-
-  2. Disk space
-     - Checks root partition usage on each host.
-     - Action: vacuum journal logs and remove rotated logs if >90% (requires --execute and confirmation).
-
-  3. Memory usage
-     - Reports high memory usage (informational only, no automatic action).
-
-  4. Process health
-     - Lists processes using >80% CPU.
-     - Action: kill processes (requires --confirm-kill flag, --execute, and confirmation).
-
-SAFETY FEATURES:
-  - Dry-run by default.
-  - Explicit --execute flag required for changes.
-  - Confirmation prompts for all destructive actions.
-  - --yes flag to skip confirmations (for automation).
-  - --confirm-kill flag required to even consider killing processes.
-  - Timestamps on all log messages.
-
-EXAMPLES:
-  python3 scripts/self_healing.py
-    # Dry-run: safe, shows what would happen.
-
-  python3 scripts/self_healing.py --execute
-    # Actually perform fixes after confirmation.
-
-  python3 scripts/self_healing.py --execute --yes
-    # Perform fixes without prompts (automation).
-
-  python3 scripts/self_healing.py --execute --confirm-kill
-    # Allow killing processes (dangerous).
