Context
Add a YOLO mode that skips tool permission prompts, without changing the existing meaning of
--autofor autonomous runs.Implementation
Added a new
--yoloflag tokilo runand a/yolotoggle in the TUI. Forkilo run, YOLO auto-approves permission requests without changing--auto. In the TUI, YOLO is session-scoped and transient: it auto-repliesonceto permission requests for the active session instead of persisting a wildcard session rule. That keeps agent-level denies intact, avoids leaking YOLO across other sessions, and lets/yolobehave like a real toggle. A small Home tip was also added so the mode is easier to discover.Screenshots
