tool: risk tiers decide the confirm, not one boolean (V-449)

The Destructive column was a mechanism with no policy behind it: nothing said
which acts are destructive, whether a confirmed act stays confirmed, or what a
new tool domain inherits, so each domain answered for itself.

Three tiers, derived from the row rather than stored, so the answer can be
argued with in one place instead of being whatever the last person to tick the
checkbox believed. Safe runs. Destructive costs a confirm turn, every time —
a confirmation binds one capability, one target and one argument list, and it
dies with the parked turn. Irreversible is refused: a confirm turn there would
be theatre, because the STT, the router and the fuzzy allowlist match are all
guesses and a spoken "да" checks none of them. She names the gap; the row
stays enabled.

An unrecognised dispatch shape inherits destructive, not safe. A domain argues
its way down to running freely, never up to being gated.
