Why does the Coding Assistant in Xcode keep asking permission to read or search files inside my project no matter how many times I tell it to always allow?
It means I have to basically sit there babysitting it constantly for every task even when no other human input is required 🙄

@nicklockwood I’ve noticed this with all of the harnesses other than the command line TUI with both Claude and Codex. Quite frustrating especially with Xcode because you lose out on the additional tools and context.
