 - Before any script runs, `gui.py` shows a modal `ConfirmDialog` on the main thread; the background send thread blocks on a `threading.Event` until the user clicks Approve or Reject
 - The dialog displays `base_dir`, shows the script in an editable text box (allowing last-second tweaks), and has Approve & Run / Reject buttons
 - On approval the (possibly edited) script is passed to `shell_runner.run_powershell()` which prepends `Set-Location -LiteralPath '<base_dir>'` and runs it via `powershell -NoProfile -NonInteractive -Command`
+- Every script (original, before Set-Location is prepended) is saved to ./scripts/generated/ai_<timestamp>.ps1 before execution; the saved path appears in the tool result
 - stdout, stderr, and exit code are returned to the AI as the tool result
 - Rejections return `"USER REJECTED: command was not executed"` to the AI
 - All tool calls (script + result/rejection) are appended to `_tool_log` and displayed in the Tool Calls panel
