Risk Guardrail — 19 bots

Block, pause, unwind — never propose, only veto

Risk Guardrail bots are the safety net between Strategy and Execution. They inspect every OrderIntent produced by Strategy and either approve, reshape, or hard-reject it. Risk bots run sequentially after every Strategy intent is emitted; KillSwitch is checked first, then the full guardrail pipeline runs in order. No intent reaches Execution without passing every relevant Risk check. Risk bots never propose new positions — they only veto.
