1 //! Headless programmatic mode: `sigit -p "<prompt>"` runs one prompt and exits.
2 //!
3 //! This is the entry point for CI, scripts, cron, and the Cloud Agent sandbox
4 //! runner: no client, no TTY, just plain stdio. Assistant text streams to
5 //! stdout as it is generated (`--quiet` restricts stdout to the final message);
6 //! logs and tool progress go to stderr.
7 //!
8 //! Cross-platform by design — unlike the ratatui TUI this is NOT gated on
9 //! `#[cfg(unix)]`, so Windows gets it too.
10 //!
11 //! Permission model: nobody is around to answer `ask`, so `ask` collapses to a
12 //! denial telling the model the tool was not pre-approved (mentioning
13 //! `--allow-tool`). `--allow-tool <name>` pre-grants a tool for the run's
14 //! session; `--deny-tool <name>` blocks a tool even if settings would allow it.
15 //! `SIGIT_PERMISSIONS=allow` remains the blunt instrument.
16 //!
17 //! Exit codes: 0 — turn completed; 1 — inference/tool-loop or backend
18 //! resolution error; 2 — bad invocation (handled by the caller in `main`).
