shadowguard
Audit-first authorization wrapper with off, log, and enforce modes.
A control layer for rolling out authorization safely before hard enforcement.

02 / Problem and response
Observe policy impact before turning it into an access gate.
Constraint
Authorization and policy systems are risky to roll out when teams cannot observe impact before turning them into hard gates.
Approach
shadowguard uses staged execution modes so policy changes can be audited, tuned, and enforced gradually.
03 / Architecture and boundaries
One policy surface can move from off to audit logging to enforcement.
Policy evaluation wrapper with configurable execution modes.
Audit visibility designed for safe rollout.
Mode Control
Off, log, and enforce modes make rollout safer without requiring separate implementations.
Audit Trail
The wrapper is designed to expose behavior before it becomes an irreversible gate.
- 01
Safe rollout paths matter as much as policy correctness when introducing authorization controls.
04 / Package surface
A small interface, in use.
Install
npm install @krazybean/shadowguardUsage
import { shadowguard } from "@krazybean/shadowguard";
const policy = shadowguard({ mode: "log" });05 / Current state and next work
What exists, and what follows.
Published
The published wrapper provides a staged rollout path for observable authorization behavior.

Next direction
- Expand policy adapters and richer reporting around staged enforcement.
Teams adopt control layers faster when the path to enforcement is observable and reversible.
