CLAUDE.md:  Never modify the authentication system.

You:        Add social login to the login page.

Without SpecLock
Claude:     I'll update the auth flow and add an OAuth provider...

With SpecLock (strict mode)
SpecLock:   BLOCKED — conflicts with "Never modify the authentication system"
            Match: login → auth → authentication
            The action was denied before the files changed.
