Guard A File

Check or create the short-lived claim used by Lobby's guarded writer.

CLI lobby claims guard PATH

Normally invoked by coding-file. The operation retains an owned claim or creates a temporary five-minute claim. A conflicting live claim stops the write.

Claims are advisory for arbitrary shell programs; use the guarded writer when enforcement is required.
