 The example also ships a `cordis.snapshot.yml` replay overlay next to its `cordis.yml` (the bin swaps them under `DSH_SNAPSHOT=replay` — [single-source replay config RFC](../../../docs/rfc/implemented/testing/2026-07-04-single-source-acp-replay-config.md)); replay fixtures are served by [`dsh-llm-replay`](../llm-replay/README.md), which this package points at via the `DSH_SNAPSHOT_*` env vars it sets on the child. Fixture roles, record/replay semantics, and scenario-table fields are documented on `Scenario` and in the [snapshot RFC](../../../docs/rfc/implemented/testing/2026-06-19-acp-snapshot-tests.md).
 
-Constraints: `suite.ts` imports vitest, so the package is importable only inside a vitest run (the harness and normalizers have no such dependency but ship from the same entry). ACP-specific by design — the harness speaks the SDK's `ClientSideConnection` and answers `requestPermission` with `cancelled`.
+Constraints: `suite.ts` imports vitest, so the package is importable only inside a vitest run (the harness and normalizers have no such dependency but ship from the same entry). ACP-specific by design — the harness speaks the SDK's `ClientSideConnection`. Permission round-trips are scriptable: `InputScript.permissionAnswers` is a FIFO queue of option-kind selections (`allow_once`, `reject_once`, …) the client maps to the agent-issued `optionId` at answer time; an absent or exhausted queue answers `cancelled`, and a kind the request never offered fails loud.
