    train-guard 0.4.0 is the first public release of a small supervisor for one long-running local job (training run, encode, batch job) on a laptop.

    It reads the power source, charge level and battery temperature, then applies one of three actions to the named process tree: full (run normally), gentle (platform scheduling hint) or stop (suspend until conditions clear). It records every change it owns, so stop/recover restores exactly that. Policies can be replayed against recorded JSON Lines traces before controlling a live process, including exact bounded sensitivity envelopes over temperature and charge intervals.

    It is a workload policy, not a hardware safety controller: no charge limiting, no battery-life predictions.

    Install: pipx install train-guard
