Two guards, both from real incidents in the same session.
1. invoice-create.sh — chronology (CGI art. 289). Dolibarr assigns the number at
validation, in creation order, so issuing a document dated BEFORE the last one
already issued gives a higher number to an earlier date. The July plan walked
straight into it: the M3 deferred part is due 2026-10-23 and must be issued at
D-60 (24/08) to stay under the L.441-10 I ceiling, while the M4 fixed part is
dated 23/08 — issue them in the wrong order and the numbering breaks. The
guard reads the last issued document of the same kind and refuses an earlier
date, with ARCO_ALLOW_BACKDATE as a loud, documented override.
Verified: refuses a 01/07 invoice against FAC008 (23/07), accepts 23/08.
2. test/scripts/guard.ts — production opt-in. The sandbox-only guard had no way
to express a deliberate production run, so any prod work meant bypassing it
entirely (which is how guards die). Production now requires BOTH
ARCO_ALLOW_PRODUCTION=<exact host> and
ARCO_PROD_CONFIRM=I-UNDERSTAND-THIS-WRITES-PROD, and prints a banner. Nothing
reaches prod by inheriting an ambient variable.
Also fixes a misleading "(sandbox verified)" log that printed even on prod.
grantAgentRight.ts joins the repo (it was never committed) and gains --revoke,
so a temporarily elevated right can be handed back — used today to attach a
payment in production and revoked immediately after.
