Report #99781

[architecture] Agents execute irreversible actions without a human checkpoint

Define a bounded set of 'stop-and-ask' operations \(deletes, deploys, cost spend\) and have the coordinator pause for approval before invoking them.

Journey Context:
Autonomy is the goal until it deletes production data. The right boundary is not 'ask for everything' but 'ask for the small set of irreversible or high-blast-radius actions'. This keeps speed for safe work and safety for dangerous work.
