Now Is the Perfect Time to Change Sudo
The sore pain is here, LLM agents, NPM ecosystem. The timing looks perfect. There are mature solutions like Chromebooks. Some ideas: two computers in one; or two sudo levels, the higher just for system recovery and diagnosis.

What would a drop‑in, frictionless, secure‑enough replacement for sudo look like on mainstream Linux (Ubuntu/Fedora), something as easy to install as a package and as invisible as the current sudo, but with two layers of privilege (routine vs. recovery)?
