Report #103501

[agent\_craft] Wasted turns asking about trivial choices or made irreversible decisions without approval

Decide alone on reversible, low-stakes, well-scoped choices; escalate cost, legal, destructive, or ambiguous requirements to the human.

Journey Context:
Agentic coding works best with bounded autonomy. Permission systems exist precisely to separate routine safe actions from risky ones. Asking about every minor detail burns context and user patience; silently executing destructive commands destroys trust. The right boundary is reversible vs irreversible, not easy vs hard.
