Report #69075

[architecture] Autonomous multi-agent loops execute irreversible actions without approval, causing unrecoverable damage

Implement an interrupt/await pattern in the orchestrator for tools flagged as destructive, pausing the state machine until a human approval signal is received.

Journey Context:
Fully autonomous loops are great for speed but dangerous for production. You can't rely on the LLM to know when to ask for permission. The architecture must statically define which tools or agent transitions require an interrupt. The orchestrator persists the state, pauses, and resumes upon human input, preventing timeout failures.
