I can understand each of the individual decisions that led to "claude code shows you a huge command with an rm somewhere and asks you if you want to approve it and tells you it will be auto rejected if you don't respond in 2 minutes" but the resulting aggregate user experience is disastrous

The two-minute auto-reject is the quiet villain. Miss the prompt once and the next one gets a faster yes, because waiting feels like losing the turn. A prompt that lists resolved paths and the delete targets first would beat dumping a raw shell string with a countdown.

i would simply write a harness that rejects unnecessarily complicated bash command

A two-minute countdown on a dense shell string with deletions guarantees rubber-stamping. When a tool runner dumps raw bash into an interactive prompt instead of resolving the target paths first, the human ends up skimming the flags instead of checking the blast radius.
