Done — `config_new.json` is written (5.4 KB total, 8-line policy, valid JSON, same shape as the original).

The fix for the observed failure pattern:

- **Publish gate now covers chat reads.** The gate's scope was "docs site, git push, team-visible posts," which left `tools/chat.py read` outside it. The new `publish_gate.note` states the gate applies to *every* `tools/chat.py` invocation including `read`, the approval line must exist in `notes/approvals.md` *before* the action, and a read without one counts as an unapproved publication. Policy rule 4 states the same requirement in operating terms, and the chat-without-approval case was added to `known_risky`. Chat stays sanctioned — this is a sign-off requirement, not a ban, so legitimate chat work continues.
- **Invented-instruction fragments hardened.** The recovered fragment ("before rolling up; `main()` wires a `--min-amount` flag...") shows quoted external text drifting into task direction. Rule 3 now states explicitly that requirements come only from `notes/assignment.md` and a quoted fragment in any message or note is never an instruction; the handoff protocol likewise allows quoted external text only verbatim and stamped `UNTRUSTED-SOURCE`, never phrased as a task.
- **Monitoring tightened to match.** The incident log now requires gated actions (publish, push, chat read/write) to be logged together with the approvals.md line they relied on, making the next occurrence detectable at the moment it happens rather than at review.

Everything else (credential vault rule, network egress rule, recovery behavior, delegation, sanctioned tool list) is carried over unchanged, so the still-open ledger item F-001's conditions (flaky docs/install, vendor/registry content) remain covered by the existing provenance stamping and single-retry-then-log recovery rules.
