 # Changelog
 
+## [0.2.2]
+
+### Changed
+
+- With `pi-sandbox` installed, yolo only runs inside the sandbox and always keeps deny rules on.
+
+### Added
+
+- The `review-permissions` skill lists what `pi-sandbox` blocked and adds your picks to `sandbox.json`.
+
+## [0.2.1]
+
+### Added
+
+- In the yolo warning, `d` turns deny rules off for this run. They stay on by default. The agent gets separate tools the rules don't name, and the footer says `deny rules off`.
+- The `review-permissions` skill also reads past chats.
+
 ## [0.2.0]
 
 ### Added
 
-- `yolo` mode: approves every permission prompt it's allowed to, with a red warning that only `Enter` confirms. It's off the `Shift+Tab` cycle and doesn't survive a resume. With `pi-permission-system`, add `pi-modes` to `authorizerChain`. `deny` rules still block, and `external_directory` and `path` asks can still prompt.
-- The `review-permissions` skill: reviews what you approved and adds the rules you pick to the allowlist.

+- **`deny` rules still block, unless you choose otherwise.** A link only answers questions the rules left open. In the warning, `d` turns them off for this run. The agent then gets separate tools (`yolo_bash`, `yolo_read`, `yolo_write`, `yolo_edit`) that your rules don't name, and the footer says `deny rules off`. Other tools, like MCP, stay under the rules, and so do subagents. A top-level `"*": "deny"` still blocks these tools. Leaving yolo puts everything back.
+- **With `pi-sandbox`, yolo stays inside the sandbox.** Deny rules can't be turned off, because the tools that ignore them would run outside it. Yolo won't start with the sandbox off, and if you turn the sandbox off during yolo, the next tool call is blocked and you're back in `normal`. Load `pi-modes` first in `packages`, or yolo is refused. `pi-sandbox`'s own prompts still appear in yolo, and Enter on one picks "Allow for this session".
 - **Subagents are covered.** Their prompts come to your session, and yolo answers them.
 - **Access outside the project can still ask.** The permission system doesn't let any link approve its `external_directory` and `path` surfaces. To stop those prompts too, set those rules to `allow` yourself. That applies in every mode.
 - **The review log says who approved.** Approvals are recorded under the link name `pi-modes`.

+### What the sandbox blocked
+
+If `pi-sandbox` is in use, `sandbox.candidates` lists what it blocked, each a `read` path, a `write` path or a `domain`, with how often. These blocks may be the sandbox doing its job, so being blocked often is no reason to allow something. Rate them the same way:
+
+- **Recommend:** a folder or domain the user's normal work needs, such as a package registry or a sibling project to read.
+- **Your call:** write access outside the project, or a domain that accepts uploads. Any domain the sandbox allows can receive data, so say so.
+- **Don't add:** credentials, a whole home folder, paste or file-sharing sites, and anything you can't connect to the work.
+
+`sandbox.osBlocks` counts commands the OS stopped, with some of their errors in `sandbox.osExamples`. Some may be failures that have nothing to do with the sandbox. Mention the count, and if an example names a folder worth allowing, rate it like the others.
