Security-correctness patch: external-content taint can no longer weaken approval strength. Also picks up a pending-approval store concurrency fix that landed after v0.5.5.

  • Taint monotonicity (#103, #104). The classifier's EXTERNAL_CONTENT provenance branch returned SENSITIVE for any non-BLOCKED action, downgrading CRITICAL-policy actions (send_email, money_transfer, external_post, credential_access, run_shell_command, delete_file, legal_or_employment_message) from strong approval to normal approval. External content may raise risk but must never lower it: SAFE still escalates to SENSITIVE; SENSITIVE, CRITICAL, and BLOCKED keep their tier. Adds regression tests for all seven critical actions and a property test asserting the tainted classification is never lower than the untainted one for every default-policy action across both taint channels (provenance origin and source trust).
  • Pending approval store concurrency (#100). Mutations of the pending-approval store are serialized, preventing concurrent approval flows from corrupting or losing pending entries. Adds concurrency regression tests.
  • Compatibility. No breaking changes, no schema changes, no new runtime dependencies. Visible behavior change (intended, strictly tightening): actions whose policy tier is CRITICAL now require strong/passphrase approval when tagged with EXTERNAL_CONTENT provenance, and their audit records carry classification CRITICAL instead of SENSITIVE — relevant to anyone alerting on classification counts. Nothing previously blocked is allowed and nothing previously allowed is blocked.
