 `set(session, name)` records a changed selection in a log-only `permission/preset` event, then calls each knob's setter only when its effective value changes. The selection event precedes the knob events and preserves user intent when presets share a bundle; a net-zero selection appends nothing. `current(events)` prefers a still-matching recorded selection, then the first matching table entry, and otherwise returns `custom`. Clients may display `custom` as the current value, but cannot select it.
 
-The service requires a confining `ctx.bash` executor and `ctx.approval`. A table entry named `custom` throws at load; composition defaults outside the table instead make a zero-event session derive `custom`. See the [sandbox switching design](../../../.agents/notes/implemented/feature/2026-07-06-sandbox.md).
+The service owns the `permission` Settings namespace. Its `defaultPreset` is the default for future sessions: the composition entry uses `Config.defaultPreset`, or infers the preset matching the composed sandbox and approval defaults when omitted. A committed Settings change is read when the next session is created; creation pins `permission/preset`, `sandbox/mode`, and `approval/policy` into that session, so later changes never alter an existing session. A resumed seed, including an explicitly empty one marked by `session/end-seed`, preserves its effective permission and receives only missing durable facts rather than the latest user default. Mounting the service also sweeps already-live sessions, so an HMR replacement pins any session created while the plugin was absent.

 Two optional children ship the product surfaces over the same service: a `permissions` session-projection unit (`src/types.ts` declares the key; the unit folds the three whole-value knob events and views the select — table options plus a current-only `custom` — over the composition defaults) and the `/permission` command (bare invocation reports the current preset and the table; a preset argument switches through `set`). Each child activates only when its registry (`ctx.sessionProjections` / `ctx.commands`) is composed.

 `set(session, name)` 会先在仅写日志的 `permission/preset` 事件中记录已变更的选择，再仅对实际值发生变化的调节项调用 setter。选择事件先于调节项事件，并在多个 preset 共享同一组取值时保留用户意图；净变化为零的选择不会追加任何内容。`current(events)` 优先返回仍与当前调节项匹配的已记录选择，其次返回表中第一个匹配项，否则返回 `custom`。客户端可以把 `custom` 显示为当前值，但不能选择它。
