…deny lists SpendLimits already constrains how much an agent may pay. This adds optional, default-off allow/deny lists for who it may pay and on which network/asset, evaluated on the existing check() path. - SpendLimits gains allowedPayees/blockedPayees/allowedNetworks/allowedAssets (string[], optional). Same ownership model as the existing spend windows. - check(estimatedCost, counterparty?) takes an optional second param; existing single-arg callers are unaffected. - Denial reuses the existing refusal path via a new CheckResult.blockedByPolicy field rather than widening the public SpendWindow union, which is a time-window concept, not a "why blocked" enum. - blockedPayees wins over allowedPayees when a payee is on both. - Fails closed if a policy is configured but check() isn't given the matching counterparty field. - setPolicy()/clearPolicy() mirror setLimit()/clearLimit(). Also fixes FileSpendControlStorage.load(), which reconstructs limits from a hardcoded key allowlist — any new SpendLimits field would silently vanish on the next load/restart even though save() writes it out fine. Extended the same explicit-and-validated loading pattern to the four new fields.

especially allowedPayees, before returning SpendLimits so callers cannot mutate
active policy state; reuse the same cloning helper wherever other SpendLimits
objects are exposed.

against the four supported PolicyList keys before mutating this.limits. Reject
invalid keys, including numeric policy keys such as perRequest, while preserving
existing value validation and save behavior; add regression coverage for invalid
keys in both methods.

Two issues from CodeRabbit's review of the counterparty-policy PR: - setPolicy()/clearPolicy() took a PolicyList-typed param but never validated it at runtime, so a caller passing a SpendWindow name (e.g. "perRequest") would silently overwrite or delete a monetary limit instead of a policy list — both share the same underlying object with no runtime tag check. Added isPolicyList() and reject unknown keys. - getLimits() and getStatus() shallow-copied `this.limits`, so the new array-valued fields were shared by reference. A caller mutating the returned array mutated live internal policy state directly, bypassing setPolicy()'s validation and save(). Added cloneLimits(), which deep- copies the four policy arrays, and used it everywhere a SpendLimits crosses a public boundary: getLimits(), getStatus(), and InMemorySpendControlStorage's load()/save() (which already cloned SpendRecord history per-record for this exact reason, just never needed to for limits before this PR).

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Clone policy arrays at every SpendControlStorage boundary.
cloneLimits() protects getLimits(), getStatus(), and InMemorySpendControlStorage. However, SpendControl.save() still passes { ...this.limits }, and SpendControl.load() assigns data.limits directly. A custom storage implementation can retain either object and later mutate an active allowlist or blocklist without setPolicy() validation. This can change a policy decision after it was configured.
Proposed fix
private save(): void {
this.storage.save({
- limits: { ...this.limits },
+ limits: cloneLimits(this.limits),
history: [...this.history],
});
}
private load(): void {
const data = this.storage.load();
if (data) {
- this.limits = data.limits;
+ this.limits = cloneLimits(data.limits);
this.history = data.history;Add a storage-adapter regression test that mutates a retained save/load object and confirms the active policy does not change.

Summary
Ref #230:
SpendLimitsalready constrains how much an agent may pay (per-request/hourly/daily/session). This adds optional, default-off allow/deny lists for who it may pay and on which network/asset, evaluated on the existingcheck()path — no new lifecycle hook, no new dependencies.SpendLimitsgains four new optional fields:allowedPayees?: string[],blockedPayees?: string[],allowedNetworks?: string[],allowedAssets?: string[]. Same ownership model as the existing spend windows, no new config surface.check(estimatedCost, counterparty?)takes an optional secondCounterpartyInfo { payTo?, network?, asset? }param. Existing single-arg callers are unaffected.CheckResult.blockedByPolicy?: PolicyListfield rather than widening the publicSpendWindowunion —SpendWindowis a time-window concept, and a counterparty value doesn't fit it.blockedBystaysSpendWindow-only.blockedPayeeswins overallowedPayeeswhen a payee is on both.check()isn't given the matching counterparty field, it denies rather than silently skipping the check.setPolicy(list, values)/clearPolicy(list)mirrorsetLimit/clearLimit.Also fixes a real bug on the same path
FileSpendControlStorage.load()reconstructslimitsfrom a hardcoded key allowlist (perRequest/hourly/daily/session). Any newSpendLimitsfield — including these four — would silently vanish on the next load/restart, even thoughsave()writes it out fine (it justJSON.stringifys the whole object). Extended the same explicit, validated loading pattern to the new fields, with a test that round-trips a full policy config across save/load and confirms malformed entries are dropped rather than accepted. Without this the feature would work until the next process restart, then quietly stop enforcing with no error.Two design calls, happy to adjust in review
SpendLimitsrather than a separatepolicyblock — matches "same ownership model as existing spend windows" from the original issue.blockedByPolicyas a sibling field rather than wideningSpendWindow— reasoning above.Went ahead and picked concrete answers for both rather than leaving them open, so there's something reviewable; easy to reshape either one if you'd rather it went differently.
