 The whole store is reachable through the MCP endpoint at `/mcp`, authenticated with an API key. The Claude Code plugin in this repo adds:
 
 - hooks for session start, each prompt, before and after tool calls, the end of a turn, compaction and session end, all failing open if Grimoire is unreachable;
+- a project fence: a session belongs to the project its starting directory is bound to. Toward any other project it can read anything and file an issue. Editing that project's files, committing or pushing in its repo, or changing its records first asks you, in every permission mode;
 - skills for the working practices: using Grimoire, writing plans, systematic debugging, verification, brainstorming, reporting back, reusing code, shape accounting and family canon;
 - your stored processes as skills.
