Description

In the Big Sur beta 6, I encounter this prompt after every few minutes. Even after ensuring that the file is not open in any of the other apps, the prompt still pops up.

I installed Macdown via HomeBrew `brew install cask macdown` but ran the update to get to the version `0.7.3`. Just checked that Macdown is not present in the Apps list with Files and Folders access.

Research direction

No source file or test is identified in the issue. First reproduce the recurring save prompt on macOS Big Sur beta 6 with MacDown 0.7.3, using the Homebrew-installed app and a file that is not open elsewhere. Done means the prompt no longer appears repeatedly under those conditions, with the cause and a reproducible verification path documented.
