Subject: [PATCH] Mode picker: drop the note machinery - Auto-Approve copy is
 two lines (A)

Owner call after seeing it rendered: the three-line entry read as a
paragraph in a list of two-liners. Decision A: fold the who-judges fact
into the description itself -

  Auto-Approve
  Your session model clears routine actions; doubtful ones still ask

- and let per-check cost surface in the 1.7 metering badge where it
actually accrues, instead of as picker text. This supersedes the copy
recorded in the previous commit.

The `note` field and its render block are removed as dead code; `caution`
(the Bypass warning triangle) stays. tsc clean.
