📖About & Usage

About

The Bypass Shipper is a worker droid owned by Elrond. It ships an initiative via canonical bypass — skipping the normal approval gates — by doing exactly what the Carol Initiatives app used to do before the CAROL-INI-884 relocation moved the behaviour into a droid. When an operator hits the app's bypass-ship endpoint, the droid writes a single BYPASS-tagged row to the bypass_audit_trail with a UTC timestamp, the initiative id, the acting agent, and the reason, then returns the shipped status with the new audit id and tag. It touches only that audit-trail row — never the bypass book, cookbook, or initiative status rows.

The droid is self-contained: it carries its own database path rather than relying on a caller's connection, and it is reached only through the Carol Initiatives app's shared shim, never imported directly. On every successful ship it also records a session event and a Palantir accountability post, both best-effort so logging can never break the ship. The behaviour is preserved exactly from the original app — a relocation, not a refactor.

The name "Bypass Shipper" is unique to this one droid, but it belongs to the worker family, one of 30 such droids that several agents run — owners include Albus, Carol, Clara, Forge, Galadriel, Hagrid, Merlin, Orion, Sage, Themis, Radagast, Noah, and Leo (see Droid Families). It is pure software: no Claude calls were found in its source, so no model is involved.
