## 11. Recent Critical Updates (2026-02-24)

### Tool Gating & Policy Implementation

**Problem**: AI was responding to simple queries like "2+2" with portfolio analysis instead of direct answers.

**Solution Implemented**:
1. ✅ Planner unknown-intent fallback returns no tools (`[]`)
2. ✅ Executor policy gate with deterministic routes (`direct|tools|clarify`)
3. ✅ Read-only allowlist for portfolio tools
4. ✅ Rebalance confirmation logic
5. ✅ Policy verification telemetry
6. ✅ Fixed false numerical warnings on no-tool routes

**Files Changed**:
- `ai-agent.utils.ts:257` - Planner returns `[]` for unknown intent
- `ai-agent.policy.utils.ts:84` - Policy gate implementation
- `ai.service.ts:160,177` - Policy gate wired into runtime
- `ai-agent.verification.helpers.ts:12` - No-tool route fix
- `ai-observability.service.ts:366` - Policy telemetry

**Verification**:
```bash
npm run test:ai                    # 44 tests passing
npm run test:mvp-eval              # 2 tests passing (53 eval cases)
npx nx run api:lint               # Passing
```

### Policy Routes

The policy now correctly routes queries:

| Query Type | Route | Example |
|------------|-------|---------|
| Simple arithmetic | `direct` | "2+2", "what is 5*3" |
| Greetings | `direct` | "hi", "hello", "thanks" |
| Portfolio queries | `tools` | "analyze my portfolio" |
| Rebalance without confirmation | `clarify` | "rebalance my portfolio" |
| Rebalance with confirmation | `tools` | "yes, rebalance to 60/40" |
