Permission modes
Nova exposes guarded execution rather than an unrestricted shell by default. Tool calls and sensitive operations are mediated by the active approval/autonomy policy.Use the current implementation
Inspect the current options withnova --help. In a session, review the proposed tool call before allowing it; use the project policy and the repository’s approval flow instead of assuming every command is permitted.
Boundaries and safety
The--unleash option is policy-gated and should not be documented as a bypass. Nova may still refuse or require approval for operations outside the active policy.
