codex - 💡(How to fix) Fix Previously-existing sessions with full access require approvals

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

26.506.31004 (2604)

What subscription do you have?

Pro

What platform is your computer?

Darwin 25.4.0 arm64 arm

What issue are you seeing?

After the most recent update, the in-progress sessions I had that were set to either full access or auto-approve enabled are now requiring approval for many actions. I can't say if it's for everything, but examples are curl, psql, and git switch commands.

I've tried switching the permissions back and forth to no effect.

It's possible I'm completely missing something, but this was an extremely noticeable change.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

I haven't taken an exhaustive look at this, but it's been inconsistent. So far, this is occurring in one pre-existing "full access" session from before the update as well as a session I forked off of that one that also has "full access".

So far I haven't noticed it in new sessions.

What is the expected behavior?

Full access means no need to approve actions.

Additional information

I wish I had more info. If you have ideas of other things I can look at then let me know.
