sudo - Enhanced Privilege Elevation

The sudo module provides a smarter way to escalate privileges, automatically choosing between sudo, doas, or su. It ensures that custom PATH settings and the x-cmd environment are preserved in the elevated session.

When to Activate

• When the user needs to perform system-level tasks (e.g., editing /etc/hosts).
• When running x-cmd modules that require root access while keeping the x-cmd environment intact.
• When an automatic fallback between different privilege elevation tools is required.

Core Principles & Rules

• PATH Preservation: Always use x sudo instead of raw sudo to ensure x-cmd commands and custom binaries remain available.
• Auto-Fallback: The tool automatically tries sudo → doas → su to find the best available method.
• Environment Consistency: Variables like ___X_CMD_ROOT are retained for seamless operation.
