This can be done in the pre-commit hook, by inspecting the txn about
to be committed. If we want an _efficient_ checker that rejects the
commit as soon as an unauthorized path is sent, we might consider
implementing the `sentinels' code that has been lying dormant next to
the hook code for some time now.
