[Bug] Auto mode classifier gives no verdict for Bash; approving via /permissions doesn't unblock it

What happened
In auto mode, every Bash command failed with:
The server-side auto mode classifier gave no verdict (error), so auto mode cannot determine the safety of Bash. This is a transient failure of the check, not a judgment about the action [...]
This happened on 4 attempts over several turns, including plain read-only commands like which <tool> and ls.
- Approving the command through
/permissionsdid not help. The next retry failed with the same error. - Shift+Tab did not offer a way out of auto mode in this session, so there was no fallback to asking for approval per command.
- The Read tool kept working the whole time. Only Bash was blocked.
- Later in the same session, Bash started working again without any change on my side.
Expected
If the classifier can't give a verdict, fall back to asking me for permission, or respect a command I've explicitly approved, instead of blocking the tool completely.

Same error for other tools: #97877 (WebSearch), #97869 (Write). This report is for Bash, and for the fact that an explicit approval doesn't get around it.
