+/**
+ * @module core/shell/rater
+ *
+ * CFG-27 (CFG-26 rework) — the **auto-rater**: the LLM that rates a pending `run_shell_command`
+ * before it executes, sitting *in front of* the human approval prompt (EXT-9). It is consulted at
+ * exactly two of the five rungs — `auto-safe` and `full-auto` (see `APPROVAL_RUNGS`); `read-only`,
+ * `write` and `bypass` are fully deterministic and never pay for a model call.
+ *
+ * NOTE ON THE NAME: "judge" is reserved for the **eval grader** (`gth eval --judge <profile>`,
+ * `@gaunt-sloth/batch`) — a different concept. This module is the approvals rater.
+ *
+ * Validated prior art (both place the rater in front of the human prompt as an auto-approve
+ * fatigue-reducer): openclaw `exec-auto-reviewer.ts` and hermes-agent `approval.py` "smart" mode.
+ *
+ * Two hardening guarantees are baked in here:
+ *
+ * 1. **Prompt-injection defense.** The command is attacker-controlled text. It is normalized
+ *    (reusing {@link normalizeCommand} + home-path folding) and embedded inside an XML
+ *    `<command_to_evaluate>` tag, behind a preamble that states the tagged text is UNTRUSTED
+ *    DATA to be analyzed, never instructions to follow. See {@link buildRaterPrompt}.
+ * 2. **Fail-closed on error.** If the LLM call throws, times out, or returns unparseable
+ *    output, the verdict returned NEVER auto-approves — it is `destructive` with an honest
+ *    "could not assess" reason. A rater failure can never silently green-light a command.
+ *    See {@link FAIL_CLOSED_VERDICT}.
+ *
+ * Fail-closed-on-AMBIGUITY (when the command's target can't be statically resolved) lives in the
+ * decision mapping ({@link mapVerdictToAction}), not here, so it applies regardless of what the
+ * rater says.
+ *
+ * Mirrors the QA-3 rating substrate (`packages/review/src/middleware/reviewRateMiddleware.ts`):
+ * structured-output evaluation over `config.llm`, wrapped in try/catch.

+ * ordering knob and no threshold: each outcome's consequence is fixed by the rung

+ *
+ * - `safe` — no harmful effect.
+ * - `destructive` — **the catch-all**: harmful, but recoverable from inside the session, and not

+ *   exclusion* ("not safe, not catastrophic and not an attack") precisely so no command can fall
+ *   outside the four.
+ * - `catastrophic` — *can this be undone from inside the session?* Irreversible without something
+ *   OUTSIDE the session: rescue media, a backup, a re-provision, a restore from a third party.
+ *   Escalates at both rated rungs; never negotiable and never sticky (§4.2).
+ * - `attack` — *is something hostile acting here?* The command's own **structure** evidences
+ *   compromise (§4.1.1: credential targeting, privilege escalation / permission weakening,
+ *   persistence, deception, obfuscation). It is the only outcome that HALTS the run.
+ *
+ * **`catastrophic` and `attack` are not ranked against each other** — they ask different
+ * questions, and the spec says so explicitly. A command can be both; `attack` wins the
+ * *consequence* (a manipulated session cannot be trusted to continue) but MUST NOT swallow the

+ *   that holds only on the good model is not a property, and `auto-safe` is the default for people
+ *   pointed at small local models. `curl … | <shell>` is therefore `destructive` whatever the host.
+ * - **Clause (1) is narrowed** (§11.1b, 2026-07-28). A secret handed to a tool that is doing some
+ *   other job is not credential targeting; a secret exposed for its own sake is. Read literally,
+ *   the un-narrowed clause halted the run on `python deploy.py --key $AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY` — one
+ *   of the most ordinary shapes in deployment work, from a section that opens by saying an outcome
+ *   this expensive must not fire on ordinary work. **Nothing is given up**: the deterministic
+ *   {@link hasScriptEnvLeakRisk} preflight fires on exactly that shape, annotates this prompt, and
+ *   forces the fail-closed `destructive` path in {@link mapVerdictToAction} — so a secret in an
+ *   argument cannot reach `safe` however the rater rates it. The change trades a halt for a prompt

+ *    the rater said. Any one of them rewrites a verdict that sits BELOW the floor — i.e. `safe`, and
+ *    only `safe` ({@link isBelowDestructiveFloor}) — to `destructive` with an honest
+ *    {@link COULD_NOT_ASSESS_PREFIX} reason, **before the `safe` check**, so a manipulated `safe`
+ *    verdict can never slip an unresolvable command through. **A rater verdict may only ever make
+ *    an outcome worse, never better**, and so may a preflight: `destructive`, `catastrophic` and
+ *    `attack` all pass through UNCHANGED. (Before the rescale this branch excluded the single
+ *    halting outcome BY NAME. Renamed in place it would have let a preflight hit *downgrade* a
+ *    `catastrophic` verdict to `destructive` — the exact inverse of the invariant above, silently
+ *    trading an unnegotiable escalation for a negotiable one at `full-auto`.)
+ * 4. `attack` → `halt`, at both rated rungs, never negotiable.
+ * 5. `safe` → `approve`; `catastrophic` → `escalate` and MUST NOT enter §5; `destructive` →
+ *    `escalate` (a negotiation at `full-auto` once [[EXT-29]] lands).
+ *
+ * **EXT-58 (§4.4): the verdict's `suggestedTool` is not read here, and that is deliberate.** A
+ * suggestion is never an approval — it must not change the action, must not approve the original
+ * command, and must not pre-approve the suggested tool. The gate also never decides for itself that
+ * a shell command is "equivalent" to a built-in and substitutes it: any such equivalence test would
+ * be a second command parser, and a second command parser is a second place for the gate to be
+ * bypassed. The suggestion is carried, untouched, to the human (§6) and to the model (§7) — nothing
+ * else. Note that the fail-closed rewrite in (3) builds a FRESH verdict and therefore drops any
+ * suggestion along with the reason it belonged to: a verdict the gate has just declared
+ * untrustworthy must not keep recommending anything. A verdict the preflight leaves alone was never
+ * declared untrustworthy — the gate is agreeing with it, not overriding it — so it keeps both.
+ *
+ * @param command The raw command string (used to recompute ambiguity + preflight independently
+ *   of the rater, so the gate is robust even if the rater is wrong or manipulated).
+ * @param verdict The rater's verdict (or {@link FAIL_CLOSED_VERDICT}); `undefined` at the unrated
+ *   rungs. A missing verdict at a RATED rung is treated as {@link FAIL_CLOSED_VERDICT}.
+ * @param opts The rung in force.

+ * EXT-71 §3.2 — the mapping for a call an **allow entry already matched** while keeping the rater
+ * involved (`rate: true`). This is a **TRIPWIRE, not a re-adjudication**, and the difference is the
+ * whole reason it is a separate function from {@link mapVerdictToAction}:
+ *
+ * | Outcome | Action | Why |
+ * |---|---|---|
+ * | `safe` | approve | nothing to say |
+ * | `destructive` | **approve** | the human already authorized this call; the rater does not overrule a standing human decision by disliking it |
+ * | `catastrophic` | escalate | a human decides, and per §4.2 that approval is never sticky |
+ * | `attack` | **halt** | exactly per §4.2 — the structure evidenced compromise, which no prior grant answers |
+ *
+ * The rater's job on an allow-listed call is to catch the tail where a broad entry matched
+ * something structurally hostile — not to re-ask a question the human answered.
+ *
+ * **The deterministic preflights are deliberately not consulted** ({@link preflightFloorReason} is
+ * not called). §4.6 states it directly for the open-world arm: *an allow match lifts this floor even
+ * when the entry keeps the rater involved — the tripwire still sees the call; the floor does not
+ * apply to it.* The other two arms are lifted with it, and doing so changes no outcome: a preflight
+ * only ever raises `safe` to `destructive`, and both of those run here. Applying the floor would
+ * therefore alter nothing except to replace an honest verdict with a note about a decision this
+ * mapping does not make. (The ambiguity arm cannot fire at all — an allow entry does not match a
+ * command that fails to statically resolve.)
+ *
+ * @param verdict The rater's verdict; `undefined` or a fail-closed verdict is `destructive` and so
+ *   runs — the tripwire failing to answer does not revoke the human's standing decision, exactly as
