+        "The cmux sense can answer a Claude Code permission prompt 'once' for the human, and only when every code check agrees: an allowlist floor over the request's structured fields (in-repo edits, a short table of read-only commands each with its own allowed options, read-only git when the repository's git config runs no programs, and the repository's own checks as exact words; everything else escalates), no 'ask me' precedent, cmux 0.65.0 or later, and a standing owner grant (cmux.feed.once) for that repository under its count cap. Before replying it re-checks the request and records the reply under the decision log's lock, and it counts the reply as made only when cmux shows the request resolved 'once'. Two new family-only tools: cmux_reply_once records the agent's judgment (shadow only unless the code allows the reply) and cmux_correct records the human's exact precedent, refusing in autonomous turns and during external events and accepting 'once' only for a request the human allowed in cmux. Decisions and precedents stay machine-local, with digests of command words and field-by-field redaction; first-format precedents are migrated to digests, and an unreadable casebook makes the sense escalate everything rather than skip an 'ask'. A reply whose call failed, or whose request expired, goes back to the human, a request is never replied to twice, a stale decision-log lock is taken over through a per-contender tombstone that is checked to be the stale lock, an unreadable decision log or a torn line makes the count cap refuse rather than count zero, a torn last line is ended before the next append, and reply records survive log rotation for 31 days, the longest grant window allowed. Questions, plan approvals, Codex and Copilot always go to the human. No human-run command issues the grant yet, so in v1 the sense escalates every request."
