pydepgate exec

Run a Python script with runtime interdiction active, blocking suspicious startup behavior before it executes.

This subcommand is under development and not yet functional. Running it produces an informational message and exits with code 3. Progress is tracked in ROADMAP.md.

Intended behavior

When complete, exec will:

• Install Python audit hooks before running the target script
• Intercept the startup vectors pydepgate’s static analyzer detects (.pth exec chains, sitecustomize.py imports, console-script hooks)
• Block or warn on suspicious behavior according to the configured severity threshold and rules
• Pass arguments through to the target script unchanged

This is the runtime enforcement complement to the static analysis in scan. scan tells you a package is suspicious before you install it. exec catches behavior that slips through static analysis or arrives through dynamic means.

Flags

<script>

The Python script to run. Passed to the runtime engine as the entry point.

pydepgate exec myscript.py
pydepgate exec myscript.py -- --script-arg1 --script-arg2

Arguments after -- are forwarded to the script.

Current status

Invoking exec today prints a status message and returns exit code 3 (TOOL_ERROR). No script execution or interdiction occurs.
