kingwl ef35007d75 feat(approval): the approval seam — one-shot permission decisions over a waterfall of answerers
ctx.approval (dsh-approval): request() dispatches the approval/request
waterfall and always resolves a closed outcome — allowed-once / rejected /
cancelled / unavailable — never rejects; zero listeners fall through to
fail-closed unavailable; abort settles cancelled and discards late answers;
throwing or rogue answerers are contained as unavailable; every ask lands
the log-only approval/asked / approval/decided audit pair. dsh-tools routes
a pre-execute ask through the seam opportunistically (ctx.get) with three
distinct deny reasons, keeping the historical ask→deny degrade when the
seam is absent.

The per-session policy tier, the ACP bridge answerer, and the sandbox
escalation asker are staged follow-ups of the approval-seam RFC.

# Tool Execution Pipeline
This graph shows where policy, hooks, sandboxing, filesystem guards, result rewriting, and UI rendering fit without changing the loop. The key extension points are the `tools/pre-execute`, `tools/execute`, and `tools/post-execute` waterfalls.

Filesystem read-before-edit checks live below `tool-fs` on the `fs/*` event gate; hook bridges and the approval seam's permission prompts live on the generic pre/post tool waterfalls; and around-dispatch concerns like the tool-call timeout policy (`@deepseek-ai/dsh-timeout-policy`) wrap core dispatch on `tools/execute`. That split lets the same hooks observe bash, fs, web, todo, and subagent calls without coupling those tools to one policy service.
Maintenance mode: curated Mermaid flow; exact tool schemas and event signatures live in generated catalogs.
