Elevation

Run a bash command outside the sandbox with user approval.

Trigger condition: a task requires privileges unavailable inside the sandbox — installing packages, writing to protected paths, managing services.

Calling convention:

execute_code: steps=[{code: "apt install -y ripgrep", 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.
• 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.
