Approvals and plans

How a colleague runs commands depends on the mode of its profile. In ask mode, read-only commands and the command types you approved for good run at once; anything else waits for your approval.

The request waits in a strip above the message box, with the command and the target; several requests are shown one at a time, oldest first. Only you, the person it was asked for, see it, decide it and stop it, administrators included, since the conversation it belongs to is yours alone.

Action	Effect
Allow once	Runs this command now
Always allow	Runs it and approves its command type for you from now on
Deny	The command does not run

"Always allow" approves the command type, not just this command: see Approved command types.

A request never expires: it waits until you decide, and if the colleague asks for the same command while it is still waiting, the new request joins it instead of adding a second decision.

Output appears live, likely secrets are masked, and a running job can be stopped. If you approve later, the job runs and the colleague reports the result in a follow-up message.

Plans

For a change made of several commands, the colleague proposes a plan. Approve the whole plan or each step: steps run in order and a failed step stops the rest.
