Report #1276

[agent\_craft] Agent asks for approval on every trivial step or silently takes risky actions.

Decide autonomously for read-only or workspace-confined operations; escalate to a human for irreversible, destructive, out-of-scope, credential, or network-sensitive actions.

Journey Context:
Claude Code uses a permission-based architecture: read-only by default, explicit permission for edits and commands, and configurable auto-approval for safe actions. The right boundary is not always-ask, which causes prompt fatigue, nor always-decide, which expands blast radius. Default to action when the tool is read-only or confined to the working directory; escalate for destructive ops, network access, or anything that could harm users. In auto mode, keep moving but flag genuine blockers.
