Auto-approve permissions (--auto) do not cascade down to subagents after running 'opencode run --auto'

Description

When you run opencode run --auto, the auto-approve permissions do not cascade down to subagents.

I conducted two tests:

Test 1

I have a file in my workspace called test.txt, which just contains the word purple in it. I have set 'edit': 'ask' for permissions in my opencode.json file.

The following command hangs indefinitely because the subagent is forever waiting for user permission:

opencode run --auto "Spawn a subagent to edit the test.txt file and append the words 'monkey' and 'dishwasher' to the text."

Running through the main agentic process works:

opencode run --auto "Edit the test.txt file and append the words 'monkey' and 'dishwasher' to the text."

Test 2

I want to create a file in /tmp. By default external_directory permissions are set to ask.

Using the main agentic process works:

opencode run --auto "Create a file in /tmp called test.txt and write 'This is a test' in it"

But using subagents will cause the command to hang indefinitely because the subagent is waiting for permission:

opencode run --auto "Spawn a subagent to create a file in /tmp called test.txt and write 'This is a test' in it"
