Description
Hi,
I am currently missing a feature to manually whitelist / blacklist specific scripts / apps that trigger BlockBlock Alerts, but the "temporarily" checkbox cannot be unchecked.
For example I'm using f.lux to automatically switch from dark theme to light theme, because it better adapts to sun hours than macOS' built-in Nightshift, and it uses two apple scripts inside the .app bundle to do so. Unfortunately I end up with getting two BlockBlock alerts per day and cannot uncheck the "temporarily" checkbox.
Is there anything - I - can do about it, or should this behavior not be changed?

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the BlockBlock alert flow and the handling of the “temporarily” checkbox, then determine how rules for specific scripts or apps are stored. Done means users can manually persist whitelist or blacklist choices and no longer receive repeated alerts for an allowed item.
