 **Golden rules (these also live in the skill body):**
 
 - **Never delete a file without explicit user confirmation on the first destructive action of the session.** Auto-prune is conservative (requires <5 clicks in 90 days, zero inbound internal links, etc.) but it can still surprise the user. Show them what's about to go. Technical-fix actions edit an existing page rather than delete, so they only need a diff review, not a destructive-action confirmation.
+- **Standing approval.** While the site is in auto-approve mode (the SEOAgent default), the cloud stamps each item it queues, and its file's steps then say **Standing approval applies**. Do that work without waiting for a go-ahead: with no one in the session (a scheduled run, a Grok Bot, a headless run) apply it, commit it, and ack it; with a person present, show the diff or draft as you go and carry on. It is a go-ahead, not a quality waiver: decline anything that looks wrong. Prunes (destructive) and new landing pages (a new URL) never carry it, and a file without it keeps its own confirm step.
 - **Read the decline memory first.** `.seoagent/inbox/README.md` ends with **Previously declined on this site** (also `declined` in `seoagent inbox --json`, and a **Related past declines** block inside any action file an earlier decline bears on): what you or a previous session already refused here, and why. A pending action that one of those reasons still covers (same page, same class of problem — e.g. the page is `noindex`, so canonical, meta and schema on it are all inert) is **declined citing that reason, not re-investigated**: `seoagent ack <id> <id> … --failed --reason "covered by #<earlier id>: <its reason>"`. Several ids take one verdict. Only apply a fix when the earlier reason no longer holds.
 - Acknowledge every action you finish: `seoagent ack <action_id>` (or `seoagent ack <action_id> --failed --reason "..."` to decline). That marks it `completed` on the dashboard and removes the inbox file on the next sync. **Write decline reasons for your future self**: state the fact that rules the action out (the page is noindex; the canonical points off-site; the finding is stale since <date>) — every decline is fed back into the next inbox as memory, and the issue is not proposed again.
 - After processing, run `seoagent sync` once more to clean stale inbox files, then report a summary: how many applied, how many declined (and why).
