+#
+# `classifier-fallback-allow.sh` and `multiline-command-approver.sh` were the
+# remainder of the 2026-08-03 sweep over every hook in this repo that returns an
+# approval. Thirty do; fifteen of them decided from the first command position
+# and handed the approval to the whole line. Thirteen were repaired in PR #941,
+# #942 and #943. These two were left because each has its own shape — a `case`
+# ladder in one, a `head -1` in the other — and pasting the same patch over them
+# would have been guesswork.
+#
+# Measured against the shipped copies, over the commands each hook approves in
+# their bare form (33 and 32 of a 49-command probe set):
+#
+#   classifier-fallback-allow  tails `&& sudo rm -rf …` / `; curl … | sh` /
+#                              `&& git push --force`  ->  297/297 kept
+#   multiline-command-approver same three tails               ->  288/288 kept
+#   multiline-command-approver same three on a second LINE    ->   18/18  kept
+#
+# The controls are what name the defect: the same dangerous commands on their
+# own were approved 0/5 and 0/3 times. Neither hook approved indiscriminately.
+# Both stopped reading after the first command position. Repairing the wrong one
+# of those two would have looked like progress.

+# The newline row is the one worth keeping in mind. The multiline hook exists
+# *because* commands span lines; it took `head -1` of them.

+# The other way an approving hook goes wrong: the list, not the anchor.
+#
+# #937/#940/#941/#942/#943/#947 all fixed the same shape — a hook read the first
+# command position and handed its approval to the whole line. These three are a
+# different defect, and the 2026-08-03 sweep deliberately kept them out of that
+# count: they approve destructive commands **with no separator in them at all**.
+# Mixing the two would have produced "18 hooks defective" instead of 15, which
+# looks right and is not.
+#
+# Measured against the shipped copies, over 20 destructive or credential-reading
+# single commands:
+#
+#   bash-heuristic-approver   15/20 approved  ->  1/20
+#   quoted-flag-approver      15/20 approved  ->  1/20
+#   fish-shell-wrapper        18/20 approved  ->  0/20
+#
+# The one that survives in the first two is `cat ~/.aws/credentials`. That is a
+# read, and the read is what these hooks are for; keeping credentials out of a
+# transcript is a blocking hook's job in this repo, and a block beats an
+# approval. Named here so it is a decision rather than an oversight.
+#
+# ★ Two of these hooks only act when `.message` carries the permission prompt's
+# own wording. A probe that puts the command in `.message` gets 0/20 back and
+# reads as "clean". The first pass of this sweep did exactly that. Every block
+# below therefore starts with a control: does a plainly safe command get
+# approved at all? Without it, "no defects" and "not running" look identical.
+#
+# fish-shell-wrapper is its own case. It returned `permissionDecision: "allow"`
+# on everything it wrapped — not as a judgement, but because the approval was
+# the carrier for `updatedInput`. `sudo rm -rf`, `dd`, `mkfs.ext4` and
+# `curl … | sh` were all signed off. The rewrite and the approval are now
