DEFAULT_APPROVAL_RUNG

const DEFAULT_APPROVAL_RUNG: ApprovalRung = 'auto-safe'

Defined in: _worktrees/docs-release/gaunt-sloth/packages/core/src/config/shell-policy.ts:766

§1.1 — the default rung is auto-safe, everywhere. It is the default in every interactive context, it does NOT vary with the configured model, and there is no separate non-interactive default. What changes without a human is what an escalation does (§6.2: an immediate non-zero exit, never an approval), not which rung the session starts on. A context-dependent default would reintroduce exactly the hidden branching this ladder exists to remove.
