What issue are you seeing?

The TUI permission approval modal appears to ignore the session-grant choice for request_permissions.

When I select Yes, grant these permissions for this session using either:

• arrow keys + Enter, or
• the a shortcut,

the TUI still behaves as if I denied the request and shows:

You did not grant additional permissions

What steps can reproduce the bug?

1. Open a TUI session with request_permissions available.
2. Trigger a request_permissions prompt.
3. In the approval modal, select option 2 (Yes, grant these permissions for this session) or press

a.

1. Confirm the selection.
2. Observe that the TUI reports You did not grant additional permissions instead of granting session-scoped permissions.

What is the expected behavior?

the TUI should submit a session-scoped approval and show:

You granted additional permissions for this session

This looks like a TUI approval-selection bug.
