This module integrates Drupal with the PillarShield governance service to evaluate content and make allow, warn, or block decisions. It enforces these decisions at the publish or visibility boundary by default, with an optional permission-gated manual check available during any save operation.
PillarShield connects Drupal to the PillarShield governance service to evaluate content and return allow/warn/block decisions. Enforcement runs at the publish/visibility boundary by default, with an optional manual check on any save (permission-gated).
