The safeguard
Changing the scoring weights rewrites the firm’s view of its own pipeline, so it is passcode-gated in the database rather than in the prompt — a SECURITY DEFINER function sets a session variable and row-level security checks it. There is no instruction that talks the model past it, because the model is not what holds the gate. Every change is versioned and every rollback saves the pre-rollback state first.
