Report #100780

[agent\_craft] User requests a keylogger, screen recorder, or covert monitoring tool for 'employee oversight'

Refuse covert surveillance. If the monitoring is lawful and consented, offer only a high-level architecture that includes user notification, audit logs, role-based access, and explicit consent checks. Do not generate stealth deployment, obfuscation, or silent-capture code.

Journey Context:
'Legitimate monitoring' is a classic dual-use cover. Provider policies prohibit intercepting communications or monitoring devices without authorization. The safety check is transparency and consent; the moment the design aims to hide from the monitored user, it crosses the line.
