# Elevation

Run a bash command outside the sandbox as the **current user** (not root). The command escapes the Landlock filesystem sandbox but does NOT gain superuser privileges.

**What it does**: Removes sandbox filesystem restrictions so the command can access paths the sandbox normally blocks (e.g., `~/.config/`, `/usr/lib64/`, system directories). The command still runs as the logged-in user with that user's normal permissions.

**What it does NOT do**: It does not run as root. It does not `sudo`. If the target operation requires root (e.g., `make install` to `/usr/`), the user must handle privilege escalation themselves outside of this mechanism.

**Trigger condition**: a task requires filesystem access unavailable inside the sandbox — writing to paths outside the sandbox whitelist, reading protected config files, running commands that access restricted directories.

**Calling convention**:
```
execute_code: steps=[{code: "cp file.so /usr/lib64/qt6/plugins/kf6/ktexteditor/", elevated: true}]
```

**Constraints**:
- Briefly explain what the command does and why it needs elevation before running it.
- `elevated: true` is per-step — only apply to steps that need it.
- Only bash is supported for elevated steps.
- Does NOT run as root. Cannot `apt install`, `make install` to system dirs, or anything else requiring superuser unless the user has passwordless sudo configured.
- May not be available on all systems; if absent, the step fails with "elevation not available".
- Blocks until the user approves or denies — this is expected, not an error.
