Hey A few things need to be addressed before this is ready for review:
If you'd like a hand completing the implementation, here's a ready-to-use prompt:

Pull request overview
This PR introduces a new content_redaction stage in the safe-outputs pipeline, intended to enforce policy-based redaction (or blocking) of public-facing output items before they reach safe_outputs.
Changes:
- Adds
content_redactionconfiguration types + parsing (string/array/object + conditional enablement) and wires the config into global safe-outputs extraction. - Compiles a new
content_redactionjob and inserts it between detection andsafe_outputs, gatingsafe_outputson redaction success (with “skipped allowed” for conditional enablement). - Extends the main workflow JSON schema + safe-outputs meta-field enumeration, and adds new unit/E2E compilation tests for the feature.

| File | Description |
|---|---|
| pkg/constants/job_constants.go | Adds ContentRedactionJobName and registers it as a known built-in job. |
| pkg/constants/spec_test.go | Extends spec tests to assert the new job name constant value. |
| pkg/constants/constants_test.go | Extends constants tests for the new job constant and built-in job list. |
| pkg/workflow/safe_outputs_config_types.go | Adds ContentRedactionConfig and wires it into SafeOutputsConfig. |
| pkg/workflow/safe_outputs_config_global.go | Extracts content-redaction from global safe-outputs config. |
| pkg/workflow/content_redaction_config.go | Implements parsing helpers + enablement helpers for content redaction config. |
| pkg/workflow/content_redaction_job.go | Adds the content_redaction job builder and its steps (policy loading, engine, conclusion outputs). |
| pkg/workflow/content_redaction_test.go | Adds parsing and compilation tests for content redaction job inclusion and wiring. |
| pkg/workflow/compiler_safe_output_jobs.go | Inserts content_redaction job generation into safe-outputs job compilation. |
| pkg/workflow/compiler_safe_outputs_job.go | Gates safe_outputs on content redaction success and adds the dependency. |
| pkg/parser/schema_compiler.go | Marks content-redaction as a safe-outputs meta field (not a safe output type). |
| pkg/parser/schemas/main_workflow_schema.json | Adds schema for safe-outputs.content-redaction configuration forms. |

Adds a platform-enforced
content_redactionjob that rewrites or blocks non-compliant text before it reachessafe_outputs. Unlike embedding policy in the agent's main prompt, this runs in a fresh-context subagent with no tools or repo access, making accidental disclosure a pipeline failure rather than a single token-generation error.Pipeline position:
agent → detection → content_redaction → safe_outputsConfiguration
All four input forms supported:
