Auto approval stops working

[trydis]

Describe the bug

Assisted permissions mode stops working after approximately 1 hour, to get it working again i need to start a new session.

Affected version

GitHub Copilot CLI 1.0.83

Steps to reproduce the behavior

• start a session and use /permissions assisted
• It works fine for approximately an hour
• Then it seems to flip back to manual
  • run /permissions assisted, it says: Auto approval is now enabled. Permission requests will include an LLM safety recommendation. Permission requests will still be shown
  • run /permissions manual and then /permissions assisted, it says: Couldn't enable auto approval. It may be unavailable in this session or disabled by policy.
• To get it working again start a new session

Expected behavior

Auto approval should work for the duration of the session, as long as it's not disabled by the user.
