+/*
+ * Contract under test — KubectlPolicy is the pure, three-place policy for
+ * kubectl commands OneUptime AI composes (compose time, server enqueue, and
+ * the customer-side Runner all run the same code):
+ *  1. tokenize() splits a one-line command shell-style for quoting only and
+ *     strips a leading "kubectl"; it never treats operators specially
+ *     because kubectl is spawned as an argv, never through a shell.
+ *  2. Read verbs (get/describe/logs/events/top/rollout status, ...) tier as
+ *     Read; SafeWrite is exactly ONE named object of one built-in kind with
+ *     no selector — rollout restart/undo/pause/resume of one workload, scale
+ *     of one workload to a non-zero count, delete of one named pod,
+ *     cordon/uncordon of one node, label/annotate of one pod or workload
+ *     with unreserved keys; anything wider or that changes what is deployed
+ *     (a bare kind, several names, a selector, patch, set image, drain,
+ *     delete of a Job or a workload, labels on namespaces/nodes/RBAC)
+ *     tiers as RiskyWrite, and every write in kube-system/kube-public/
+ *     kube-node-lease is at least RiskyWrite and marked protectedNamespace;
+ *     exec/cp/port-forward/apply/edit, credential and file flags,
+ *     --all-namespaces writes, deleting namespaces/volumes/nodes/secrets/
+ *     CRDs/RBAC in any spelling, resource categories in writes, RBAC and
+ *     ServiceAccount grants (any write to roles and bindings, set subject,
+ *     set serviceaccount), any write to admission and API-extension kinds,
+ *     pod-security patch fields, patch bodies that are not JSON, create
+ *     deployment/cronjob and create job --image, a namespace set twice, and
+ *     unknown verbs are Denied.
+ *  3. Flags are parsed exactly as kubectl's pflag parses them — short-flag
+ *     clusters letter by letter, optional-value flags never consuming the
+ *     next token, "_" read as "-", unknown flags refused — so a denied flag
+ *     cannot hide inside a cluster and a resource kind cannot hide inside a
+ *     flag value. Only kubectl's global flags may precede the verb (and the
+ *     subcommand of rollout/set/create/auth/cluster-info/top), because
+ *     kubectl picks the command before it parses flags. File-backed output
+ *     formats, streaming flags, --resolve, and Secret objects in any verb
+ *     (get, describe, label, patch, delete, create secret, create token) are
+ *     Denied on top of the verb tiers.
+ *  4. evaluateForAutoExecution promotes Read and SafeWrite to AutoApproved,
+ *     keeps RiskyWrite at RequiresApproval unless the cluster bypasses
+ *     approvals or an allowlist pattern matches the argv token by token,
+ *     never lifts a Denied, and never auto-approves a write in a protected
+ *     namespace, a node drain or a taint (not with bypass, not through the
+ *     allowlist).
