Read #388 Pick up a Lab task

Three members center on the --force flag in should_allow_install() appearing to override a dangerous security verdict, which would let skills with critical findings be installed. Two are fix proposals (one also mentions verdict logic in skills_guard) and one reports the behavior; the titles alone don't show what any change actually does.
