Devika Verma b5a93fb138 human_only asks skip the reviewer - it could clear git-hook writes
Found while designing reviewer stress scenarios: _authorize consulted
the reviewer on ANY needs_user decision, but two asks exist precisely
so a PERSON sees them - protected in-project files that execute later
(.git/hooks, CI configs: 'no auto-approve path may clear them') and
writes whose path cannot be located for scoping (an allow would bypass
root scoping unverified). A reviewer 'allow' on either was that floor's
bypass; the 8.3 prompt's git-hook example hoped for unsure but nothing
enforced it.

Decision grows human_only; the two branches set it; _authorize and
_preconsult_reviewer skip the reviewer when it's set (card always).
Shadow recording is untouched - a shadow verdict has no decision path
and 'would the reviewer have allowed this?' is useful data.

"""TurnEngine — the owned agent loop.
Async, but with blocking provider/tool calls wrapped in `asyncio.to_thread` so the loop
(and any UI consuming its events) stays responsive. One user turn spans many model↔tool
iterations until the model stops requesting tools, a rail trips, or it's interrupted.
When the model requests several tool calls in one turn, low-risk ones (reads, searches)
execute concurrently; writes/shell stay strictly ordered.
Approvals are handled out-of-band via an injected async `approver`: when the permission
engine says `needs_user`, the engine emits `PERMISSION_REQUIRED` and awaits the approver.
