[architecture] Autonomous agent chains execute irreversible side effects without approval

Implement an interrupt mechanism in the orchestrator. Map agent tools to a risk tier, and force a synchronous human approval gate before executing any tool marked as destructive or irreversible.

Journey Context:
Giving agents autonomy speeds up tasks, but a misinterpreted schema or hallucinated parameter can cause catastrophic damage. Asynchronous HITL is too slow for synchronous chains; the orchestrator must pause the agent's state, present the proposed tool call, and wait for explicit human approval before resuming. The tradeoff is latency for safety.
