- Introduces
permissionLevelonChatRequest(private proposed API) to convey auto-approval/autopilot behavior. - Updates
ToolCallingLoopto (a) extend the max-iteration limit automatically forautoApprove/autopilot, and (b) add an internal “autopilot stop hook” that tries to continue untiltask_complete. - Filters
task_completeout of tool lists outside autopilot mode.
