& then SDK passes permission request onto client to read this file.
CLI should auto approve such reads.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by tracing the CLI large-output handling from the point where the output is saved to a temporary file and the SDK forwards a read permission request to the client. Done means reads of these CLI-created output files are automatically approved without an additional client permission prompt.
