+"""Regression test for TUI approval-prompt credential redaction (#48456).
+
+Follow-up to #50767, which redacted the chat-platform and SSE/API approval
+transports. The TUI JSON-RPC transport is the third egress: three
+`register_gateway_notify` callbacks in `tui_gateway/server.py` emit the raw
+`approval_data` (with an unredacted `command`) to the TUI client. They now
+route through the module-level `_emit_approval_request` helper, which redacts
+`payload["command"]` via the shared `gateway.run._redact_approval_command` seam
+before emitting.
