+`ApprovalPolicy` is `'ask'` or `'never'`. The effective value is the last `approval/policy` event, falling back to config; `setApprovalPolicy()` is the write path. `'never'` rejects before interactive dispatch. Both policies contribute their complete current meaning to the cache-safe runtime-context snapshot.
 
 The tools pipeline routes `ask` decisions through this seam and fails closed when it is absent; the sandboxed bash tool also uses it for escalated retries. The ACP automation bridge answers calls for its own agents through the client's machine policy. Audit events remain log-only, so the model sees only the asking consumer's result. See the [approval-seam Agent Note](../../../.agents/notes/implemented/feature/2026-07-06-approval-seam.md) and [sandbox Agent Note](../../../.agents/notes/implemented/feature/2026-07-06-sandbox.md).
 
 ## Model Experience
 
-### System prompt and policy notice
+### Current approval policy context
 
 #### What the model sees
 
-Under `ask`, every agent request carries the ask-policy prompt section below. Under `never`, it carries the never-policy prompt section below. A policy switch injects exactly `The approval policy changed from "<old>" to "<new>" (changed by the user).` or `The approval policy changed from "<old>" to "<new>" (changed by the operator/config).` before the next step.
+The first request and each effective policy change append a full runtime-context snapshot after retained history. Under `ask`, the approval contribution states that configured answerers may be consulted and absence fails closed. Under `never`, it states the deterministic rejection and non-escalation consequence. Unchanged requests retain the earlier snapshot without adding another message.
 
-##### Ask-policy prompt section
+##### Ask-policy contribution
 
 ```markdown
-<!-- dsh-user-approval-policy:ask -->
+Approval policy: ask. Operations that require approval may ask through the configured answerers; without an available answerer, the request fails closed.
 ```
 
-##### Never-policy prompt section
+##### Never-policy contribution
 
 ```markdown
 Approval prompts are disabled in this session: actions that require approval are rejected automatically — do not request sandbox escalation (do not set `sandbox_permissions`).
-<!-- dsh-user-approval-policy:never -->
 ```
 
 #### Token effect
 
-Small fixed per-request cost, larger under `never`; a change notice is conditional and retained in history.
+One concise context message on the first request and on an effective change; unchanged requests add no duplicate policy tokens.
 
 #### KV Cache effect
 
-Prefix-stable while the approval policy is unchanged. An `ask`/`never` switch changes the system-prompt section and invalidates reuse from its first changed token; the accompanying notice is append-only.
+Append-only after retained history. An `ask`/`never` switch preserves the stable system and conversation prefix instead of rewriting the first wire message.

 ## 模型体验
 
-### 系统提示词与策略通知
+### 当前审批策略上下文
 
 #### 模型看到的内容
 
-在 `ask` 下，每个 agent 请求都会携带下方的 ask 策略提示词段。在 `never` 下，请求会携带下方的 never 策略提示词段。策略切换会在下一步骤前精确注入 `The approval policy changed from "<old>" to "<new>" (changed by the user).` 或 `The approval policy changed from "<old>" to "<new>" (changed by the operator/config).`。
+首次请求和有效策略每次变化时，都会在保留的历史后追加一份完整运行时上下文快照。在 `ask` 下，批准贡献会说明可咨询已配置的应答者，缺少应答者时以拒绝方式关闭。在 `never` 下，它会说明确定性的拒绝与非升权后果。未变化的请求会保留先前快照，不增加另一条消息。
 
-##### Ask 策略提示词段
+##### Ask 策略贡献
 
 ```markdown
-<!-- dsh-user-approval-policy:ask -->
+Approval policy: ask. Operations that require approval may ask through the configured answerers; without an available answerer, the request fails closed.

+##### Never 策略贡献
 
 ```markdown
 Approval prompts are disabled in this session: actions that require approval are rejected automatically — do not request sandbox escalation (do not set `sandbox_permissions`).
-<!-- dsh-user-approval-policy:never -->
 ```
 
 #### Token 影响
 
-每个请求有少量固定成本，`never` 下的成本更高；变更通知按条件出现，并保留在历史中。
+首次请求和策略实际变化时增加一条简洁的上下文消息；未变化的请求不增加重复的策略 token。
 
 #### KV Cache 影响
 
-审批策略不变时，前缀保持稳定。`ask`／`never` 切换会改变系统提示词段，并从首个变化的 token 开始使复用失效；随附通知只会追加。
+在保留的历史之后仅追加。`ask`／`never` 切换会保留稳定的系统与对话前缀，而不会改写第一条 wire 消息。
