Full access mode doesn't work after the app restart #36816

Description

@Pzixel

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

26.727.51351

What subscription do you have?

Pro x20

What platform is your computer?

Darwin 25.5.0 arm64 arm

What issue are you seeing?

I keep asked for approvals despite using "Full access" mode

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Use "Full access" mode
Start a goal that requires some elevated privileges
Close the app
Start the app

The goal will continue automatically but then when some elevated action it will ask for permission, ignoring the "Full access" mode.

What is the expected behavior?

No response

Additional information

That is what codex has to say about this:

Why do I get those "approve" prompts despite "full access" mode active?

< Because this task’s permission profile changed mid-run. It started as unrestricted with approval policy never, but the latest environment context re-declared it as managed workspace-write with network access restricted. “Full access” still covers the repository filesystem, but production network calls are separately gated.
