Description
Type: Bug
Coming from a Cursor environment, I was accustomed to accept buttons that allowed at least a temporary override for most operations. As I continue with the migration to VSCodium I am frequently plagued by these buttons popping up sometimes three or more at a time at unpredictable intervals. The buttons offer no alternatives such as "always accept" or "stop bugging me." The end effect is to significantly curtail a useful workflow. For instance, I can give the ai a research task that might involve searching several sources of information, including files, websites, networked devices, etc. I would expect to set it on its task, and come back 10 minutes later and find the result. That will never happen because the first file access stopped the entire process and has caused the ai to pause and wait for my okay to continue. This continues for dozens of repeats, so I have to sit there and play nursemaid to the user interface. To make this user friendly, I need a work-around, or some new buttons.

Research direction
No source file, test, or entry point is named. Reproduce the repeated accept prompts in the reported VSCodium and extension versions, then trace the UI flow that pauses agent operations. Done requires an agreed way to avoid repeated interruptions, but the exact button behavior and acceptance scope still need clarification.
