> Actually think this is quite a good idea.

That's what I thought in the beginning. Once I read the spec to the end, it's clear to me that it's overly specific to one use-case — TUI AI agents.

E.g. `kind := permission | question | auth` doesn't make much sense anywhere outside of that use case. The list goes on...

I also found comms around it super muddy, AI agent use case is mentioned but deceivingly watered down with other use-cases.

Overall, that spec is no where close to Kitty/Kovid's level. It's super sad, since mitchellh's work is usually super high quality.

I hope the community will push back and the spec will get better.

Let's say I'm upgrading a large software enterprise application. I start the upgrade process. After 5 minutes, the process determines that the upgrade will require an extra 1.5GB of storage and asks me if I would like to continue with the upgrade. After 15 minutes, I'm presented with a username / password prompt to enter credentials to retrieve a package from an external resource needed for the upgrade. After another 5 minutes, the upgrade process has detected that there are a number of derelict files detected and asks for permission to remove these files.

A cli asking for a password is a pretty normal thing, I think?
