Adds a floor below --yolo: a tiny set of commands so catastrophic they should never run via the agent, regardless of --yolo, gateway /yolo, approvals.mode=off, or cron approve mode. Opting into yolo is trusting the agent with your files and services — not trusting it to wipe the disk or power the box off. The list is deliberately small (12 patterns), covering only unrecoverable ops: - rm -rf targeting /, /home, /etc, /usr, /var, /boot, /bin, /sbin, /lib, ~, $HOME - mkfs (any variant) - dd + redirection to raw block devices (/dev/sd*, /dev/nvme*, etc.) - fork bomb - kill -1 / kill -9 -1 - shutdown, reboot, halt, poweroff, init 0/6, telinit 0/6, systemctl poweroff/reboot/halt/kexec Recoverable-but-costly commands (git reset --hard, rm -rf /tmp/x, chmod -R 777, curl | sh) stay in DANGEROUS_PATTERNS where yolo can still pass them through — that's what yolo is for. Container backends (docker/singularity/modal/daytona) continue to bypass both hardline and dangerous checks, since nothing they do can touch the host. Inspired by Mercury Agent's permission-hardened blocklist.
