GameCatalyst is designed with developer oversight at every layer, operating on the principle that AI assists but humans decide. You’re never a passenger in your own project—you’re the architect making decisions while Vex handles implementation. This section explains the human-in-the-loop philosophy, provides an overview of the multi-layer safety features, and shows you how GameCatalyst keeps you in control through explicit project selection, permission gates, dry-run defaults, and configurable autonomy levels.
