What issue are you seeing?

The permissions menu combines reviewer selection with permission-profile selection, but it displays only the custom permission profile as active.

With default_permissions = "personal-workspace", selecting either Approve for me or Ask for approval changes the effective reviewer correctly. However, the composer pill and menu checkmark continue to show only personal-workspace. There is no visible indication whether Auto-review is currently on or off before submitting a task.

This makes unattended execution difficult to use safely because the user cannot verify who will review sandbox escalations.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

1. Configure approval_policy = "on-request", approvals_reviewer = "user", and default_permissions = "personal-workspace".
2. Define personal-workspace as a named permission profile extending :workspace.
3. In the desktop composer permissions menu, select Approve for me.
4. Reopen the menu. The effective reviewer is Auto-review, but the only checkmark and composer pill still show personal-workspace.
5. Select Ask for approval.
6. Reopen the menu. The effective reviewer is now the user, but the UI is visually unchanged and still shows only personal-workspace.
7. Repeat the two selections. Runtime behavior switches correctly, but the GUI provides no reviewer-state indication.

What is the expected behavior?

The UI should show the permission profile and approval reviewer as two independent active settings, or use a combined label that clearly indicates both.

For example:

• personal-workspace · Ask for approval
• personal-workspace · Approve for me

The user must be able to verify whether Auto-review is active before submitting a task without changing or replacing the selected custom sandbox profile.

Additional information

The global default is intentionally approvals_reviewer = "user". Auto-review is selected only for individual unattended tasks.

The reviewer switching itself works: tasks alternately arrived with user review and Auto-review according to the selected menu action. The problem is the missing visual state.

Permission profiles cannot solve this because they define filesystem/network boundaries and do not support a per-profile approvals_reviewer field.
