Description

Report specific commands that asked for approval when they shouldn't have.

In the current release, part of the permission check uses a model to judge whether a command is risky, and it errs on the side of caution — so it can flag things that are plainly harmless. Those reports are exactly what we want here.

```
Command:
Prompt shown:
Why it's safe:
Version / OS / shell:
```

One command per comment. Redact anything sensitive.

Note: some prompts are still intentional — a command can be safe itself but still reach the network, credentials, or files outside the workspace.

For broader permission problems, use #2542.

Research direction

Use the issue's Command, Prompt shown, Why it's safe, and Version / OS / shell template to document one false-positive approval request. Redact sensitive details and post one command per comment; broader permission problems belong in #2542.
