Call before editing files: returns the governance rules that apply to them, ranked by ledger fitness and clamped to the JIT token budget. Mandatory rules (gates, invariants) take at most two slots; the others are listed in omitted_mandatory. Gates and invariants are served from the reviewed base commit (rules_base); branch-local edits to them never bind and are listed in unreviewed_rules. stale_rules lists rules edited since the last aegis sync. If any rule file cannot be loaded the scan fails (status FAIL) and names it.

Report whether the rules you were shown helped. The server ties the report to the tree it computes now: with an aegis check --record run of exactly that tree it credits the rules it showed you that match the change (your rules_used is not what is credited), and even then only CI on the landing commit makes it count; without one it records a single unwitnessed claim per session and tree that earns nothing. Reports per session are capped.

Turn a natural language concern into a prompt that drafts a governance rule. It writes nothing: save the drafted rule under .aegis/rules/ yourself.

List the governance rules as {rules, stale_rules, ignored}: every rule with its type, hypothesis and ledger fitness (a file that cannot be loaded is listed with _error), the rules edited since the last aegis sync, and markdown under .aegis/rules that is not a rule.

Record a user correction as an unconfirmed suggestion in user scope. Agent suggestions never count toward proposals or debits and never appear in aegis_scan; a suggestion upgrades to W2 only when its quote matches a hook-captured prompt in the same session.
