Description

Feature

Similar to how we mark actions as standalone, or without confirmation, we might want to mark a few actions as destructive. This behavior should prompt the user to enter a string ("I know this action is destructive" or something similar), or make them click the button twice, or something similar (pls research) to ensure that he knows it's destructive.

Current workarounds

Manually add a field asking them to input something.

Research direction
Explore Avo's action confirmation logic, likely in app/controllers/avo/actions controller.rb or related views. Look for existing patterns like 'standalone' actions. Research how destructive actions are commonly confirmed in other Rails admin panels (e.g., ActiveAdmin). Check Avo documentation for action customization. Suggest implementing a new configuration option for destructive flag and a double click or text input confirmation UI.
