DCG Taskforce: obsessively installing a guard

The problem. AI agents can touch your machines, and destructive commands are unacceptable. Dicklesworthstone's Destructive Command Guard exists to stop them, but Windows sometimes seems to fight it. The hack fix was simply to install it again: a one-line script.

What I built. So I figured I could install it obsessively. That one-liner evolved into the Destructive Command Guard installation Task Enforcer: the Taskforce. It runs on a schedule across my machines and operating systems, even WSL distributions, takes updates only from the guard's signed releases, confirms the guard's extra features are in place, and does it all at once, obsessively.

Where it stands. It works across machines, operating systems and WSL distributions. If and when the guard itself grows a feature, the Taskforce peels its own version of that feature back and adapts.

What I learned. When something keeps undoing your safety net, automate putting it back, and keep checking that it's there.
