Approval decisions are not remembered - constantly needing to approve.

What version of Codex CLI is running?

0.96.0

What subscription do you have?

Pro

Which model were you using?

gpt-5.2

What platform is your computer?

Darwin 25.2.0 arm64 arm

What terminal emulator and version are you using (if applicable)?

Terminal.app AND Codex App

What issue are you seeing?

When Codex CLI and Codex App need approval to run a command (e.g. psql), it will ask me for approval with three options:

  1. Approve
  2. Yes, and don't ask again for commands that start with psql
  3. No

No matter how many times I select option 2: don't ask again, it will always ask for my permission to run that command. It's always asking permission on the same thing too - not a variation of the command or a different command entirely - that same "commands that start with psql" message. And it doesn't remember my choice.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Explained above.

What is the expected behavior?

It remembers the choice and doesn't ask me again.
