Area 9 of 10 in the UltimateSEO Framework v4.3
Execution safety
Rules for any agent or person changing a live website. It covers read-only access by default, approvals tied to exact actions, retrieved instructions treated as untrusted, limited network and file access, secrets kept out of outputs, budgets and cancellation, safe writes, independent release decisions and a prepared rollback. All 9 controls are hard gates: a confirmed FAIL on any of them stops publication until it is fixed. No automated check covers them, so they stay UNKNOWN until you supply evidence.
