+    Strategy: be liberal about what looks like a file/URL, then verify by

+    paths in single quotes when convenient, so we strip wrapping quotes.
+    A bare filename like `screenshot.png` also matches if it exists in the

+    as text.
 
-    Bare filenames (`foo.png`) are NOT matched: too ambiguous with filenames
-    mentioned in conversation. Tokens wrapped in backticks or quotes are
-    skipped (user's escape hatch).

+      - Any token that, after stripping wrapping quotes and trailing
+        punctuation, resolves to an existing file with an image extension
 
-    Trailing sentence punctuation (`.,;:!?)`) is trimmed before matching.
+    `raw_token` is the exact substring to find/replace in the original

+Design notes:
+- A failing safety check NEVER hard-denies the action — it only downgrades
+  auto-approval to "ask the user." The user is the source of truth.
+- BYPASS keeps the denylist for paths and commands but skips the cwd-scope
+  check. The intent: BYPASS = "skip routine confirmations" not "the model
+  can silently overwrite ~/.ssh/authorized_keys."
+- We resolve symlinks and check the resolved target against the denylist
+  so a symlink in cwd pointing at /etc/passwd doesn't sneak past us.
