"""Conservative read-only shell-command classifier for the session-scoped grant.
"Allow read-only commands for this session" (owner ask 2026-08-11, born of approval
fatigue in security-scan sessions: ~15 hand-approvals per run) auto-allows a command only
when THIS classifier accepts it. The contract:
- **Local filesystem reads only.** Network clients (curl/wget/ssh/nc) are deliberately
excluded even for GET — an auto-allowed network command is an exfiltration channel
under prompt injection. Interpreters (python/ruby/sh -c) and anything that can write,
execute, or mutate are excluded.
- **Pipelines are allowed** (`nl … | sed -n … | grep …`) — every stage must classify.
All other shell operators (;, &&, ||, &, redirections, substitutions) are rejected
outright.
- **Fail closed.** Unknown commands, unparseable input, path-invoked binaries, and any
doubtful flag reject. False negatives cost one manual approval; false positives cost
an unreviewed side effect — the asymmetry decides every edge case here.
This is a user-elected convenience on top of the approval flow, not a sandbox: the
session still runs under its permission mode, and the user granted the scope explicitly.
