Declarative policy system. Allow/deny rules, policy composition, modes (guidance, enforce, audit).

Chapter 3: Lifecycle Hooks

Runtime security checkpoints. Pre/post deploy hooks, graceful shutdown, health checks.

Chapter 4: Target Security

Per-target security considerations. Bash, Python, Go, Rust, C#, Prolog security matrices.

Quick Example

% Declare a firewall policy
:- declare_firewall_policy(production, [
    allow_targets([bash, go, rust]),
    deny_targets([python]),  % Python not approved for prod
    require_validation(true),
    max_generated_lines(10000),
    audit(all)
]).

% Apply policy during compilation
?- with_firewall_policy(production,
       compile_predicate(process_data/2, go, Code)).
