Description

I have a process that I know is safe, with a specific path + args.

Every time that I start that process from a new context, I get a new popup to allow/deny temporarily (the checkbox is disabled). I would like to add that combo of path + args as an exception.

Context example: a bash script that I have to check with node --version I have installed, and it's being prompted all the time.

First steps

  1. Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
  2. Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
  3. Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
  4. Open a pull request that references the issue number.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the repeated allow/deny prompt for the bash script and its node --version invocation, then trace the existing process approval and settings flow. The change is complete when a user can save a persistent exception for an exact path-and-arguments combination and the matching process no longer prompts in new contexts.
