fix(code): make YOLO warning friendlier for new users - #4950
Merged

Conversation
Rewrites the YOLO acknowledgement warning in plain language: explains
what YOLO does versus the default Manual mode instead of relying on
jargon ("gated actions", "action decision boundary") and an unexplained
reference to Auto mode.

Shorten the acknowledgement text to a heading plus one risk sentence and a one-line Manual hint. Co-authored-by: open-swe[bot] <open-swe@users.noreply.github.com>
Drop the sandbox sentence and the retrieved-instructions clause in favor of a single plain-language line about acting on your machine without asking. Co-authored-by: open-swe[bot] <open-swe@users.noreply.github.com>

) Reword the `dcode --yolo` acknowledgement warning so a new user can understand it without prior context. --- The previous warning leaned on jargon ("gated actions", "action decision boundary") and referenced `Auto` mode without ever explaining it, which is confusing for someone seeing the prompt for the first time. The new copy explains in plain English what YOLO does, contrasts it with the default `Manual` mode, describes the concrete risks (arbitrary commands, file changes, outside tools, following instructions planted in content it reads, no sandbox), and points the user to the `Use Manual` fallback shown in the selector below the warning. This is a pure user-facing string change in `_prompt_yolo_acknowledgement`; no logic or gating behavior changes.
