"""Dangerous command approval -- detection, prompting, and per-session state.
2026-02-21 22:31:43 -08:00
This module is the single source of truth for the dangerous command system:
- Pattern detection (DANGEROUS_PATTERNS, detect_dangerous_command)
- Per-session approval state (thread-safe, keyed by session_key)
- Approval prompting (CLI interactive + gateway async)
- Permanent allowlist persistence (config.yaml)
