The Co-Founder beforeToolCall hook (introduced in 77f81a7) gated every
non-readonly pi tool call as a `dangerous_command` approval. Because
agents call `POST /api/companies/:id/messages`, `/agents` (hire), and
every other company mutation via bash→node/curl, the first bash call in
every Co-Founder run got parked on a 30-minute approval timeout. Users
observed it as "agents never talk to each other" and "every bash command
waits for approval"; both symptoms are the same bug.
The business-level approval flow (`hire_agent`, `document_review`,
`plan_review`, etc. in execution-policy.ts) already gates the events
users actually care about, at the HTTP route layer where the event
originates (routes-agents.ts:368 for hiring, document routes for
deliverables). Stacking a pi-level hook on top was duplicate gating with
the wrong taxonomy.
Removed:
- src/main/agent-runtime/approval-hook.ts (entire file, 137 LOC)
- `beforeToolCall` conditional in worker-runner.ts and the
corresponding RPC method in worker-types.ts and runtime-bridge.ts
- `approvalHook` field + `resolveApproval` callback + shutdown
`cancelAll` in runtime-bridge.ts / service-graph-pi-runtime.ts /
wire-api-server.ts
Unchanged:
- `dangerous_command` approval type itself (still used by automation
workflows and routes-misc.ts)
- CEO mode (already never attached the hook)
- All business-level approval types and their wiring

What is AgentCompany?
AgentCompany is a cross-platform desktop app that turns a single goal into a coordinated AI team. You provide a company name, description, and mission. A CEO agent self-organizes departments, delegates tasks, and produces deliverables — code, content, research, business plans, and more — while you observe and approve through a chat-based command hub. Inspired by Paperclip

Features
Self-Organizing Teams
Your AI CEO builds the org chart — recruiting specialists, creating departments, and establishing reporting lines from a single goal.
Real-Time Agent Communication
Agents coordinate through channel and direct-message threads. Watch decisions unfold in real time.
Autonomous Task Management
Goals break down into tasks automatically. Agents pick up work, report progress, and escalate blockers without intervention.
Human-in-the-Loop Approvals
Critical decisions surface for your review. Approve, reject, or redirect — your company respects the chain of command.
AI Document Generation
Agents draft business plans, marketing strategies, and technical specs — stored in a shared document center.
One-Click Company Creation
Name it, describe the mission, connect a runtime, and launch. Agents start working in under a minute.

Key Design Decisions
- Local-first: SQLite database, secrets in OS keychain, no external services required
- Security:
contextIsolation: true,nodeIntegration: false, Zod-validated IPC, JWT agent tokens - Agent coordination: Agents delegate tasks, escalate blockers, and produce deliverables through the orchestration runtime
