codex - 💡(How to fix) Fix Persisting approvals for file edits does not work [1 comments, 2 participants]

TL;DR

The issue can be potentially resolved by implementing a new permission handling system, similar to Claude Code's, which allows for more granular control over file edits.

Guidance

• Investigate the current permission handling system in Codex CLI to understand why the "don't ask for permission to edit this file" option is not working as expected.
• Consider implementing a directory-level authorization system, where Codex CLI can be authorized to edit files within a specific directory without prompting for permission each time.
• Explore the possibility of adding hooks for scripts to auto-approve chosen commands, providing more flexibility and automation in the permission handling process.
• Review the thread uploaded (019d85a5-580d-7751-9225-31275745fff5) for more detailed information on the issue and potential solutions.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue does not contain sufficient technical details to create a specific example.

Notes

The issue lacks technical details about the current implementation of the permission handling system in Codex CLI, making it difficult to provide a more specific solution. The suggestion to adopt Claude Code's permission system is based on the user's feedback and may require significant changes to the existing system.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Implement a new permission handling system, such as directory-level authorization and script hooks, to improve the user experience and provide more granular control over file edits. This is recommended because the current system is causing significant issues for the user and a new approach may be necessary to resolve the problem.
