tools/approval.py no longer re-exports sibling names (approval_context/prompt/floors/detection/
human_wait/smart/gateway_wait); it imports only what it uses. Siblings reference sibling-defined
names directly (module-attribute reads on tools.approval_context so patching the defining module
still works); only facade-owned state (_lock, _gateway_queues, _permanent_approved, _denied,
_denial_breaker_addendum, _gateway_notify_cb) is still read back through tools.approval.
approval_detection calls its own _command_detection_variants instead of late-binding through the facade.
hermes chat -q sets HERMES_INTERACTIVE=1 (for interactive sudo prompts) but
runs one turn with no user waiting to answer approval prompts. Previously a
dangerous command triggered the interactive gate, waited the full 300s
timeout, then failed closed — and the agent was effectively forced to work
around the block, often silently auto-approving via execute_code (which
auto-approves in non-gateway mode).
Add approvals.single_query_mode (default deny, mirror of cron_mode):
deny — block dangerous commands and execute_code deterministically with
a clear 'no user present' message (no 300s wait)
approve — auto-approve dangerous commands/execute_code in -q mode
cli.py marks the session with HERMES_SINGLE_QUERY_SESSION; the shared gate
(_run_approval_gate, check_all_command_guards, check_execute_code_guard)
treats -q as a deterministic non-interactive context when that marker is set.
execute_code, the -q escape hatch, now honors single_query_mode instead of
auto-approving headlessly. Includes tirith parity in the combined guard and
docs. Fixes#86878.
