The agreement ends my rights if I bypass a Guardrail without a substantially similar one. What do the agreement text, the Cosmos docs and the Cosmos code at a pin say about whether the guardrails can be turned off?

Three source kinds disagree on tone, not necessarily on fact: the agreement (October 2025) ends rights if you bypass a Guardrail without a substantially similar one; the Cosmos docs state the Cosmos-1.0-Guardrail model 'cannot be disabled' in the diffusion and autoregressive pipelines; and cosmos-predict1 at one commit defines a --disable_guardrail command-line argument and forwards it to the pipeline. The docs sentence and the code are about overlapping but not proven-identical pipelines; the code path was not traced or run. 'Substantially similar Guardrail appropriate for your use case' is not defined in the text.
