What problem does it solve? When aiwf check flags a finding you have judged to be intentional — a historical commit with an illegal FSM transition that cannot be rewritten, or an area-mistag warning on genuinely cross-cutting work — you need a sovereign, auditable way to exempt it without polluting config files or rewriting shared history. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Exempt historical commits: aiwf acknowledge illegal <sha> records an empty commit with aiwf-verb / aiwf-actor / aiwf-reason trailers that exempts the named SHA from the fsm-history-consistent and provenance audit rules. - Accept cross-cutting mistags: aiwf acknowledge mistag <id> suppresses the area-mistag warning for an entity whose work legitimately spans areas. - Sovereign-act enforcement: Both subverbs refuse non-human/ actors and empty --reason values, so every exemption traces to a named human with written rationale, queryable via aiwf history. - Use Case: A pre-rule squash-merge collapses intermediate FSM steps and blocks your pre-push hook with an illegal-transition error. Run aiwf acknowledge illegal <sha> --reason "..." to record the exemption as a git-native audit entry. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to run aiwf acknowledge illegal with the offending commit SHA and a written reason to exempt it from the FSM history audit.
