Any file is judged. Not caught here: a multi-line array or YAML `- \"*\"` list, an unquoted defaultMode (agent-permissions-scan warns). Runs: commit, agent write, turn's end. Waiver: 'pragma: allowlist broad-agency' same line. Person's commit: honoured. Agent: only if already in HEAD; MCP gateway: never. Agent asks a person.",
