Root cause (claude-code-guide, doc-cited): in auto mode, unmatched mutations
fall to the classifier and get HARD-DENIED (no approval prompt). ask/deny rules
are evaluated BEFORE the classifier, so ask-listing the mutation surfaces forces
an approve/deny/adjust prompt -- the intended gating.

.claude/settings.json (operator-applied; editing the permission file is itself
gated): + ask for *opnsense-api.sh POST, *opnsense-plugins.sh apply, *tofu
apply/destroy/import/state rm, *--commit, Edit(.claude/settings*.json); + allow
for the edge GET + opnsense-plugins.sh list. deny + guard hook unchanged.

Changelog + ledger note + carry-forward (verify prompts post-reload) added.
