Affected version
1.0.78
Steps to reproduce the behavior
go from auto mode where it implements something, back to interactive and do more code changes then
Expected behavior
No response

Research direction
Start by reproducing the permission transition described for version 1.0.78: make a change in auto mode, switch back to interactive mode, and make another change. Trace how the CLI stores and applies the permission mode; done means interactive mode requests permission for subsequent code changes across the affected models.
