openclaw - 💡(How to fix) Fix [Bug]: Exec approval popups cannot be disabled — flood of popups with no way to turn them off [2 comments, 3 participants]

TL;DR

Downgrade to a previous version or wait for a patch, as the current version has a critical UX regression causing unavoidable "Exec approval needed" popups.

Guidance

• Review related issues (#58881, #58885, #59003, #59006) for potential workarounds or insights into the problem.
• Consider configuring the gateway to run in a mode that minimizes the need for exec approvals, although the exact method to do this is not specified in the given information.
• Reach out to the development team or community for a potential fix or temporary solution, as the current behavior is causing significant usability issues.
• Evaluate the possibility of manually editing configuration files to override the exec approval behavior, but proceed with caution as this could introduce unintended consequences.

Notes

The provided information does not specify a direct fix for the issue, and the exact configuration options or code changes required to resolve the problem are not clear. The issue seems to be related to a change in the security model that is not suitable for single-user setups.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Given the critical nature of the regression and the impact on usability, applying a workaround or downgrading until a fix is available seems to be the most practical approach. The reason is that the current version's behavior is unusable for single-operator private setups, and waiting for or seeking a patch is necessary to restore functionality.
