"""Fail-closed command policy for the Hermes handoff acceptance harness.

Before spawn it admits only credential-safe, structurally read-only grammar;
shell is limited to frozen templates with absolute tool paths.

Impersonation is structurally impossible: ``--as`` and its siblings are refused
for every argv, in every mode, from every vantage, and the inner command of a
``kubectl exec`` is re-checked under the same rule rather than being trusted.
Only binaries with a pinned release digest are on the allowlist, so nothing can
be admitted here that the executor would then refuse to attest.
