+## Privacy and Data Boundaries
+
+Frontend examples should use synthetic or domain-generic data. Do not collect, log, persist, or display credentials, access tokens, SSNs, health data, payment details, private emails, phone numbers, or other sensitive personal data unless the user explicitly requests a scoped implementation with appropriate validation, redaction, and access controls.
+
+Avoid adding analytics, tracking pixels, third-party scripts, or external data sinks without explicit approval. When handling user data, prefer least-privilege APIs, client-side redaction before logging, and server-side validation for every boundary.

 - **`--update-mcp`** — explicitly replaces all ECC-managed servers with the latest recommended config (safely removes subtables like `[mcp_servers.supabase.env]`).
 - **User config is always preserved** — custom servers, args, env vars, and credentials outside ECC-managed sections are never touched.

+## External Action Boundaries
+
+Treat networked tools as read-only by default. Search, inspect, and draft freely within the user's requested scope, but require explicit user approval before posting, publishing, pushing, merging, opening paid jobs, dispatching remote agents, changing third-party resources, or modifying credentials.
+
+When approval is ambiguous, produce a local plan or draft artifact instead of taking the external action. Preserve user config and private state unless the user specifically asks for a scoped change.

-ECC v1.8.0 is live.
+ECC v2.0.0-rc.1 is live.

-We moved from “config pack” to an agent harness performance system:
- hook reliability fixes
- new harness commands
- cross-tool parity (Claude Code, Cursor, OpenCode, Codex)
+The repo is moving from a Claude Code config pack into a cross-harness operating system for agentic work.

-Start here: <repo-link>
+What ships:
+- Hermes setup guide
+- release notes and launch collateral
+- cross-harness architecture docs
+- Hermes import guidance for turning local operator workflows into public ECC skills

 ```

 ## X Post: Proof + Metrics

 ```text
-If you evaluate agent tooling, use blended distribution metrics:
- npm installs (`ecc-universal`, `ecc-agentshield`)
- GitHub App installs
- repo adoption (stars/forks/contributors)
+ECC v2.0.0-rc.1 keeps the public surface honest:
+- reusable ECC substrate in repo
+- Hermes documented as the operator shell
+- private workspace state left out
+- release metadata and docs covered by tests

-We now track this monthly in-repo for sponsor transparency.
+This is the release-candidate line: public system shape now, deeper local integrations only after sanitization.

 ```text
 This workflow direction is right: optimize the harness, not just prompts.

-Our v1.8.0 focus was reliability + parity + measurable quality gates across toolchains.
+ECC v2.0.0-rc.1 pushes that further: reusable skills, thin harness adapters, and Hermes as the operator shell on top.
 ```

 ## LinkedIn Post: Partner-Friendly Summary

 ```text
-We shipped ECC v1.8.0 with one objective: improve agent harness performance in production.
+ECC v2.0.0-rc.1 is live.

-Highlights:
- more reliable hook lifecycle behavior
- new harness-level quality commands
- parity across Claude Code, Cursor, OpenCode, and Codex
- stronger sponsor-facing metrics tracking
+The practical shift: ECC is no longer just a Claude Code config pack. It is becoming a cross-harness operating system for agentic work.

-If your team runs AI coding agents daily, this is designed for operational use.
+This release-candidate surface includes:
+- sanitized Hermes setup documentation
+- release notes and launch collateral
+- cross-harness architecture notes
+- Hermes import guidance for turning local operator patterns into public ECC skills
+
+It does not include private workspace state, credentials, raw local exports, or personal datasets.

 Tips:
 - Run `/mcp` to see active servers and their context cost
+- Use `/mcp` to disable Claude Code MCP servers when you want a live runtime change. Claude Code persists those runtime disables in `~/.claude.json`.
 - Prefer CLI tools when available (`gh` instead of GitHub MCP, `aws` instead of AWS MCP)
- Use `disabledMcpServers` in project config to disable servers per-project
+- Do not rely on `.claude/settings.json` or `.claude/settings.local.json` to disable already-loaded Claude Code MCP servers; use `/mcp` for that.
+- `ECC_DISABLED_MCPS` only affects ECC-generated MCP config output during install/sync flows, such as `install.sh`, `npx ecc-install`, and Codex MCP merging. It is not a live Claude Code toggle.

+* **运营与外向型工作流扩展** —— `brand-voice`、`social-graph-ranker`、`customer-billing-ops`、`google-workspace-ops` 等运营型 skill 已纳入同一系统。
+* **媒体与发布工具补齐** —— `manim-video`、`remotion-video-creation` 以及社媒发布能力让技术讲解和发布流程直接在同一仓库内完成。
+* **框架与产品表面继续扩展** —— `nestjs-patterns`、更完整的 Codex/OpenCode 安装表面，以及跨 harness 打包改进，让仓库不再局限于 Claude Code。
+* **ECC 2.0 alpha 已进入仓库** —— `ecc2/` 下的 Rust 控制层现已可在本地构建，并提供 `dashboard`、`start`、`sessions`、`status`、`stop`、`resume` 与 `daemon` 命令。
+* **生态加固持续推进** —— AgentShield、ECC Tools 成本控制、计费门户工作与网站刷新仍围绕核心插件持续交付。

 Turn Claude Code into a persistent, self-directing agent system using only native features and MCP servers.

+## Consent and Safety Boundaries
+
+Autonomous operation must be explicitly requested and scoped by the user. Do not create schedules, dispatch remote agents, write persistent memory, use computer control, post externally, modify third-party resources, or act on private communications unless the user has approved that capability and the target workspace for the current setup.
+
+Prefer dry-run plans and local queue files before enabling recurring or event-driven actions. Keep credentials, private workspace exports, personal datasets, and account-specific automations out of reusable ECC artifacts.

Run them only in a trusted checkout or disposable sandbox, and do not splice untrusted contract names, paths, RPC URLs, private keys, or user-supplied flags into shell commands.
