**SDK governance is a door lock — effective until someone finds another door. Govyn is a wall. There are no other doors.**
## The Problem
Every AI agent governance tool on the market is a library you import — an in-process wrapper that disappears the moment any code makes a direct HTTP call. This is the approach that failed when [Meta's alignment director lost 200+ emails](https://marklaursen.com/blog/ai-agents-need-governance-not-guardrails) because context window compaction silently stripped her safety instructions.
SDK-based governance is enforced by convention, not architecture. It works only as long as every line of code cooperates. In production, with autonomous agents that write and execute their own code, [that assumption is dangerous](https://gov
