// a separate Approve button. This is deterministic (not LLM-judged) so it
// can't be talked around by a model that misreads intent, and it only ever
// looks at the assistant turn immediately preceding the operator's reply —
// an old "yes" from three messages ago can never retroactively approve
// something new. Destructive-risk actions are excluded: they always need the
// explicit typed-confirmation flow, never loose assent.
