What version of Codex is running?
Extension - Version 0.4.21
What subscription do you have?
Business
Which model were you using?
gpt-5-codex
What platform is your computer?
Darwin 24.6.0 arm64 arm
What issue are you seeing?
If i put approval_policy = "untrusted" in ~/.codex/config.toml it is not respected by the agent. It can still run e.g. mkdir whatever. When you ask the agent what policy it has currently, it says on-request.
The policy is respected when running codex directly as a cli though, but _not_ via the extension
What steps can reproduce the bug?
See above
What is the expected behavior?
Should ask for any shell command
