**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.
**Trigger condition**: a command has **already failed** with a permission denied error inside the sandbox, proving that elevation is necessary. Do NOT use elevation preemptively.
**Procedure**:
1. **Always try without elevation first.** Run the command normally inside the sandbox.
2. **Only if it fails** with a permission/access error (e.g., `Permission denied`, `No such file or directory` for a path outside the sandbox), retry with `elevated: true`.
3. Never assume elevation is needed based on the path alone — the sandbox whitelist may already cover it.
**Calling convention**:

**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.
