I think this is a duplicate of #4351. If you agree, let's close this one and use the other to track this. Please feel free to upvote the original.
A few things,
1 this is Linux Debian, your bit mistagged it.
2 this eventually worked itself out and I cannot reproduce it. It's almost as if resuming a session that was full approval before setting full approval and then running one inference in that session permanently overrode current and future settings.
It was overcome through prompts, but explicit and granular to get it over the "I can't do that" perspective.
Very odd. Had not seen this before.
Even in regressing to 47/46, the behavior persisted.
But only when o flipped session permission approval in 48.
Odd
Closing old issue.
