What version of the Codex App are you using (From “About Codex” dialog)?

26.527.60818

What subscription do you have?

$100

What platform is your computer?

Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.19045.0 x64

What issue are you seeing?

Goal even with full access keeps asking for permission to do anything sort of sensitive. Super annoying, the whole point of goal should be that I don't have to babysit the process every ten seconds.
