Name fail-open confinement best-effort

Status: accepted

Sandbox modes are named best-effort, required, and off everywhere, with no aliases or legacy persisted values. Best-effort states that unavailable confinement may fall back to direct execution, whereas auto obscured this security-relevant fail-open behavior.

In off, execution is already direct and unrestricted, so additive network and full-escalation requests change no authority and create no prompt. Exact filesystem resource authorization remains independent of sandbox mode.
