YOLO mode is available in both CLI and gateway sessions. Internally, it sets the `HERMES_YOLO_MODE` environment variable which is checked before every command execution.

When YOLO is active, Hermes shows two persistent visual reminders so it's hard to forget that approval prompts are bypassed:

- A red banner line at session start when YOLO is already active: `⚠ YOLO mode — all approval prompts bypassed`. Hidden when YOLO is off so the default banner stays uncluttered.
- A `⚠ YOLO` fragment in the status bar across all width tiers, updated live as you toggle YOLO on or off (rich-text renderer and plain-text fallback).

:::danger
YOLO mode disables **all** dangerous command safety checks for the session — **except** the hardline blocklist (see below). Use only when you fully trust the commands being generated (e.g., well-tested automation scripts in disposable environments).
