Armed Mode
Safety model for destructive actions
LazyDatabricks defaults to READ-ONLY mode. All destructive actions require explicitly arming the interface.
What is Armed Mode?
Armed mode is a safety feature that prevents accidental execution of destructive actions. When you arm the system, you have 30 seconds to perform destructive actions before it automatically disarms.
When armed:
- The header shows a red "ARMED (Xs)" countdown
- Destructive keybindings become active
- System auto-disarms after 30 seconds
