# Agent-host isolation (when user says 不需要确认 / FINAI_NO_HITL / 交 FINAL)

When the user (or slot) requires **no questions, no wait, no Mock**:

1. Prefer `python scripts/agent_host_entry.py` for writing; for empirics prefer
   `python -m scripts.research_framework.enhanced_pipeline --explore --panel ...`
   (or `modern_did` / `robustness_runner`). Thin official results are a product bug —
   deepen **inside** FinAI, don't invent `run_real_*.py` outside the APIs.
2. Set / respect `FINAI_EMPIRICAL_DATA_ROOT`. Local panels before remote / proxy.
3. Never substitute: city patents → firm green patents; overseas revenue → customs HS;
   interest coverage → bond spreads. Record hard-gaps in `SKIPPED_CONFIG.md`.
4. Delivery must include `FINAL.md` + `SKIPPED_CONFIG.md` (not only `CODEX_FINAL.md` / PDF).
5. Writing success with empirics gaps = `partial`, not journal-ready causal completion.
6. Do not start MCP servers unless the user asked; do not invent coefficients.
7. Demo/Mock panels require explicit `--allow-demo` / `allow_synthetic=True`.

Interactive research chats (no autopilot) still follow `system-init.mdc` greet + HITL.
