Fix Guard Plugin Derailment

Problem

The automaton-guard plugin (plugins/automaton-guard/plugin.ts:61-64) calls client.chat() with role: "user" when an edit is blocked. This injects synthetic user messages that can derail agent context mid-operation.

Fix

Replace the client.chat() call with returning an error through the output mechanism, using throw new Error() or equivalent so the harness handles the rejection cleanly without contaminating the agent's message history.

Verification

  • Guard plugin rejects blocked edits without injecting user messages
  • Agent context is not contaminated
