Adds the only #17873 category not covered by the in-flight PRs #17962 (briandevans, reverse shell + download-execute) and #7993 (SHL0MS, credential reads + curl/wget exfiltration): sudo invocations that an LLM-driven agent can drive without TTY interaction. The agent has no TTY, so the sudo forms that succeed without human involvement are those reading the password from stdin (`-S` / `--stdin`) or via an askpass helper (`-A` / `--askpass`). The shell-launch (`-s`) and list-privileges (`-a`) flags are also gated since they are privilege-relevant invocations the agent can chain after acquiring the password (e.g. read SUDO_PASSWORD from .env -> sudo -S -s -> root shell). Plain `sudo cmd` (no flag) is TTY-bound and excluded. Two patterns: 1. Direct flag: `\bsudo\b[^;|&\n]*?\s+(?:-s\b|--stdin\b|-a\b|--askpass\b)` The lazy `[^;|&\n]*?` consumes flag-arguments without spanning command separators, so `sudo -u root -S whoami` matches (a textbook offensive form that a strict `(?:\s+-[^\s]+)*` "leading flags only" pattern would have missed because `root` is a flag-value not a flag). 2. Combined short flags: `\bsudo\b[^;|&\n]*?\s+-[a-z]*[sa][a-z]*\b` Catches packed forms like `sudo -nS id` where multiple flags share a single `-X` token. `_normalize_command_for_detection` lowercases input before pattern matching (tools/approval.py:340), so case variants of S/s and A/a collapse — both letter-pairs are gated since each is a privilege- relevant invocation. Tests: 21 new cases in TestDetectSudoStdin (12 positive covering all flag-order permutations including herestring source and printf-piped forms; 9 negative including TTY-bound `sudo whoami`, interactive `sudo -i`, env-var reference `$SUDO_USER`, doc lookup `man sudo`, package install, and the `pseudosudo` word-boundary edge case). Empirical coverage: 11/11 attacks matched, 0/10 false positives. Refs: #17873 category 4. Adjacent: #17962 (reverse shell + download- execute), #7993 (credential reads + curl/wget exfiltration).
