[FEATURE]:Add "Accept for Session" Option for Permission Prompts #3419
Description
Feature hasn't been suggested before.
- I have verified this feature I'm about to request hasn't been suggested before.
Describe the enhancement you want to request
When approving Permission required to run this tool:, I currently have three options: accept, reject, and always. I do not want to set permissions as "always" (which persists across sessions), so I choose "accept." However, when Opencode executes the same command again, it re-prompts for permission each time.
I would like to add a fourth option: "Accept for Current Session". This would allow Opencode to run those commands again during the current session without re-prompting, while not persisting the permission in future sessions.
Benefits:
- Reduces repetitive permission prompts during active work
- Maintains security by not permanently storing permissions
- Improves user experience and workflow efficiency

@NickPaul41 the "always" only lasts as long as the opencode instance runs it is held in memory and not persisted just so you know
This is non obvious and we are rethinking some of our ux around permissions

Oh that's perfect! I can close this then.

Sorry to bump this, but is there a way to reset this setting back to
askwithout exiting the session?The timing of prompts sometimes overlaps with my typing, causing me to accidentally hit a and trigger "always accept" mode. Once that happens, OpenCode starts auto-approving everything, which can quickly spiral out of control.
For reference, Claude Code handles this nicely by allowing you to toggle between ask/auto-accept modes at any time using Shift+Tab and prompts use
