Add a slash command for toggling auto-approve permissions (e.g. /auto) #47579
Description
In v1.18.29, the TUI command registry includes permission.mode ("Enable/Disable auto-approve permissions"), but it's the only toggle in its category without a slashName, so it's reachable only through the command palette:
// other toggles are dual-reachable:
{ name: "theme.switch", slashName: "themes", ... }
{ name: "model.list", slashName: "models", ... }
// this one is palette-only:
{ name: "permission.mode", ... }There's also no keybind action for it, so it can't be remapped via tui.json, and no config option to default auto mode on — only the --auto CLI flag at launch.
Suggestion: add slashName: "auto" to the permission.mode command (aliases like yolo could work too). Exposing it as a keybind action (e.g. permission_mode) would also fit the existing keybinds config.
Happy to open a PR if this seems reasonable.

Closing as a duplicate of #41909, which tracks the same request (runtime slash-command toggle for permission approval mode) and is already maintainer-endorsed. The keybind half is tracked in #40331. I've added the implementation notes from this issue (the existing
permission.modeTUI command just needs aslashName) to #41909.
