 These presets do not bypass operating-system permissions or the restrictions of a read-only
 agent mode. Approval dialogs offer separate choices for one call, the session, denial, or
 session-long refusal, with keyboard selection in interactive terminals.
+
+After a terminal permission selection, the approval dialog collapses to the tool, permission,
+and selected choice. Activity and progress messages stay in chronological transcript order,
+with spacing between groups; command details remain available through the activity dropdown.
+
+Progress prose comes from the model and describes the actual work or verified findings. The CLI
+does not generate periodic tool-count, failure-count, or model-waiting messages.
+
+Use `/permissions` to open the interactive permission-mode picker, `/permissions status` to
+inspect grants, or `/permissions readonly`, `/permissions workspace`, and `/permissions full`
+to change modes directly for the current session.
