## What it does
- Elevated mode allows the bash tool to run with elevated privileges when the feature is available and the sender is approved.
- **Optional for sandboxed agents**: elevated only changes behavior when the agent is running in a sandbox. If the agent already runs unsandboxed, elevated is effectively a no-op.
- Directive forms: `/elevated on`, `/elevated off`, `/elev on`, `/elev off`.
- Only `on|off` are accepted; anything else returns a hint and does not change state.
@@ -16,8 +17,13 @@ read_when:
- **Inline directive**: `/elevated on` inside a message applies to that message only.
- **Groups**: In group chats, elevated directives are only honored when the agent is mentioned.
- **Host execution**: elevated runs `bash` on the host (bypasses sandbox).
- **Unsandboxed agents**: when there is no sandbox to bypass, elevated does not change where `bash` runs.
- **Tool policy still applies**: if `bash` is denied by tool policy, elevated cannot be used.
## When elevated matters
- Only impacts `bash` when the agent is running sandboxed (it drops the sandbox for that command).
- For unsandboxed agents, elevated does not change execution; it only affects gating, logging, and status.
## Resolution order
1. Inline directive on the message (applies only to that message).
2. Session override (set by sending a directive-only message).
