Research direction
Reproduce the restart sequence on the reported Codex App version and Darwin arm64 platform: enable “Full access,” start a goal needing elevated privileges, restart the app, and observe the next elevated action. Trace where the permission profile is restored or re-declared after restart. Done means the selected mode remains effective and no unexpected approval prompt appears.

Description
What version of the Codex App are you using (From “About Codex” dialog)?
26.727.51351
What subscription do you have?
Pro x20
What platform is your computer?
Darwin 25.5.0 arm64 arm
What issue are you seeing?
I keep asked for approvals despite using "Full access" mode
What steps can reproduce the bug?
Use "Full access" mode
Start a goal that requires some elevated privileges
Close the app
Start the app
The goal will continue automatically but then when some elevated action it will ask for permission, ignoring the "Full access" mode.
What is the expected behavior?
No response
Additional information
That is what codex has to say about this:
Why do I get those "approve" prompts despite "full access" mode active?
< Because this task’s permission profile changed mid-run. It started as unrestricted with approval policy never, but the latest environment context re-declared it as managed workspace-write with network access restricted. “Full access” still covers the repository filesystem, but production network calls are separately gated.
