Description

I used Mac's Shortcuts app to make a "uptime" terminal command, however this triggered BlockBlock, and "temporarily" was forced to be checked. It causes BlockBlcok to be triggered every time I execute a shortcut, how can I make it whitelisted?

Research direction

No source file or test is named. Start by reproducing the macOS Shortcuts invocation with the uptime command and inspect how BlockBlock records a temporary decision versus a whitelist; done means the shortcut can run without BlockBlock prompting each time.
