Amr Gharbeia b9a4318ef8 reorg: tangle to XDG, remove stale lisp files, fix tui input
- Changed all 50 org file :tangle targets from ../lisp/ to
  ~/.local/share/passepartout/lisp/ (XDG data dir)
- Removed 49 generated .lisp files from project lisp/ directory
- Removed tests/system-integration-tests.lisp (generated)
- Removed lisp/*.fasl (compiled, stale)
- Updated core-manifest.org to tangle .asd to XDG root
- Remapped quicklisp symlink: local-projects/passepartout → XDG

TUI fixes in channel-tui-main.org:
- Removed with-raw-terminal (stty raw breaks fd 0 reads in this SBCL)
- Use cat subprocess + pipe for keyboard input (via :input :interactive)
- Blocking read-char on pipe with with-timeout 0.1s for daemon processing
- Key events queued via drain-queue alongside daemon messages
- Full dialog key routing (Escape, Up/Down, Enter, filters, Backspace)
- SIGWINCH resize handling
- Post-handshake backend-size re-query
- Daemon version in status bar (was v0.5.0 hardcoded)
- Handshake version stored in state, no add-msg
- :daemon-version and :size-queried in state plist
- view-status uses draw-rect for background
- Test section gated with #+passepartout-tests

#+TITLE: SKILL: Tool Permissions (org-skill-tool-permissions.org)
#+AUTHOR: Agent
#+FILETAGS: :skill:security:permissions:
#+PROPERTY: header-args:lisp :tangle /home/user/.local/share/passepartout/lisp/security-permissions.lisp
* Overview: The Authorization Matrix
Every cognitive tool (file read, file write, shell execute, etc.) has a permission level: ~:allow~ (executed without asking), ~:ask~ (user is prompted before execution), or ~:deny~ (blocked entirely). Tool Permissions maintains the registry of these levels and provides the ~permission-gate-check~ that the Dispatcher calls before dispatching a tool action.
The complexity lives in the Dispatcher (security-dispatcher.org), which
consults this table as one of its ten scan vectors.
** Contract
1. (permission-set tool-name level): stores ~level~ for ~tool-name~
in ~*permission-table*~. Tool names are normalized to lowercase.
2. (permission-get tool-name): returns the stored level, or ~:ask~ if
no entry exists.
3. Tool name matching is case-insensitive — ~(permission-set :FOO :allow)~
and ~(permission-get :foo)~ return ~:allow~.
** Boundaries
- Does NOT enforce permissions — the Dispatcher does that.
- Does NOT persist permissions to disk — this is runtime-only.
- Does NOT validate that ~level~ is one of ~(:allow :ask :deny)~.

** Package Context
#+begin_src lisp

** Permission store (tool level)
Hash table mapping tool names to their permission level.

#+begin_src lisp
(defvar *permission-table* (make-hash-table :test 'equal))

** Set permission
Sets the permission level for a specific cognitive tool.

(defun permission-set (tool-name level)
"Sets the permission level for a tool."

** Get permission
Retrieves the current permission level for a tool. Defaults to ~:ask~ if unset.
