+/**
+ * Permission Classifier — the gate behind `auto` mode.
+ *
+ * Claude Code's fourth cycle slot (`auto mode on`) does not grant blanket
+ * permission; it replaces the *prompt* with a model that rules on each call.
+ * Mipham has no interactive prompt at all, so the same slot has a different job
+ * here: the static chain's hard `'ask'` is what a Mipham user sees as a flat
+ * refusal, and in `auto` mode this classifier reads the call and decides whether
+ * it may run instead. Everything the static chain decides *without* asking is
+ * untouched — see `PermissionSystem.resolveApproval`, which only ever consults
+ * this module for calls that already resolved to `'ask'` for a classifiable
+ * reason.
+ *
+ * ## Ordering contract (load-bearing)
+ *
+ * This module can only ever turn `'ask'` into *allow*. It cannot manufacture a
+ * denial that the static chain did not already produce, and it cannot widen any
+ * decision that was not `'ask'`. The allow it returns is not a `'bypass'`
+ * either — the caller re-derives the level through the same ceiling-aware path
+ * an allow *rule* takes.
+ *
+ * ## fail-closed, deliberately the opposite of self-critique
+ *
+ * `self-critique.ts` swallows provider failures and lets the tool run (fail-open
+ * for availability). This module **must** do the reverse: timeout, provider
+ * error, or a response it cannot parse all mean `allow: false`. That is not an
+ * inconsistency to be "fixed" later — the two sit on opposite sides of a
+ * question that has different answers: self-critique advises, this decides.
+ * Those denials carry `retryable: true` so the caller can tell the model the
+ * call was *held back by an engine failure*, not refused by policy.
+ *
+ * ## Faithfulness boundary
+ *
+ * The three-tier shape (`hard_deny` / `soft_deny` / `allow`, miss ⇒ allow), the
+ * `<block>` output contract, and the fail-closed-on-unreachable semantics are
+ * taken from Claude Code's auto-mode classifier. The rule bodies below are
+ * written for this codebase's actual surface rather than transcribed: Claude
+ * Code's prompt is proprietary and its rules lean on harness concepts Mipham
+ * does not have (bound Slack threads, `<wake>` envelopes, browser-navigation
+ * meta lines, a two-stage classify pass). One consequence is honest and worth
+ * stating: Claude Code lets an explicit user request clear a SOFT BLOCK using
+ * the transcript, and this module is given no transcript — so in v1 a soft block
+ * cannot be cleared, and `auto` mode is *stricter* than Claude Code's, never
+ * looser.
