Summary

CodeWhale closed a safety issue where YOLO mode silently approved high-impact publish actions such as cargo publish and git push --tags. The fix separates convenience approvals from durable-review actions that should stay protected even in fast-moving modes.

What changed

CodeWhale addressed issue #3735 and PR #3737 so YOLO mode no longer auto-approves publish actions that should be protected by the safety floor.

Why it matters

Coding-agent safety modes often fail at the boundary between speed and irreversible actions. Keeping package publishing and tag pushes behind stronger review controls is a practical governance improvement for developer agents that can mutate public artifacts.

Evidence excerpt
