A session's YOLO bypass lived only in the in-memory
tools.approval._session_yolo set (or the process-frozen --yolo env
var), so resuming a session in a fresh process silently reverted the
user's /yolo ON — dangerous commands started prompting again.
Persist a yolo_mode flag in the session row's model_config JSON and
restore it on every CLI resume path:
- SessionDB.set_session_yolo() merges the flag into model_config
(same lineage-preserving merge as update_session_runtime_lock);
SessionDB.session_yolo_enabled() reads it back, false on any parse
failure.
- /yolo toggle persists ON and OFF through the new helper; the
compression/branch session-id rotation carries the flag onto the
continuation row.
- --yolo launches record the flag at session creation (agent_init),
and a /yolo toggled before the lazily-created row exists is carried
into the creation-time model_config (_ensure_db_session).
- HermesCLI._restore_session_yolo() re-enables the bypass on startup
--resume/-c, the deferred init path, and mid-chat /resume, with a
visible '⚡ YOLO mode restored from session' notice. No-op under a
frozen process-wide --yolo and never enables on absent/garbage flags.
