//! Guardian review decides whether an `on-request` approval should be granted
//! automatically instead of shown to the user.
//!
//! High-level approach:
//! 1. Reconstruct a compact transcript that preserves user intent plus the most
//!    relevant recent assistant and tool context.
//! 2. Ask a dedicated guardian subagent to assess the exact planned action and
//!    return strict JSON.
//!    The guardian clones the parent config, so it inherits any managed
//!    network proxy / allowlist that the parent turn already had.
//! 3. Fail closed on timeout, execution failure, or malformed output.
//! 4. Approve only low- and medium-risk actions (`risk_score < 80`).
