1//! Command safety detection module
2//!
3//! Implements granular command safety evaluation based on subcommands and options,
4//! following patterns from OpenAI's Codex project.
5//!
6//! Features:
7//! - Safe-by-default subcommand allowlists (e.g., `git` only allows `branch|status|log`)
8//! - Per-option blacklists (e.g., `find` forbids `-delete`, `-exec`)
9//! - Shell chain parsing for `bash -lc "..."` scripts
10//! - Windows/PowerShell-specific dangerous command detection
11//! - Recursive dangerous command detection with `sudo` unwrapping
12//! - Audit logging for compliance
13//! - LRU caching for performance
