When the agent is blocked on a dangerous command approval (threading.Event.wait() inside tools/approval.py), incoming /approve and /deny commands were falling through to the generic interrupt path instead of being dispatched to their command handlers. The interrupt sets _interrupt_requested on the agent, but the agent thread is blocked on event.wait() — not checking the flag. Result: approval times out after 300s (5 minutes) before executing.

Fix: intercept /approve and /deny in the running-agent early-intercept block (alongside /stop, /new, /queue) and route directly to _handle_approve_command / _handle_deny_command.
