Bug Report

Description

Launching Copilot CLI with the --allow-all flag does not actually put Copilot into allow-all mode. Commands still prompt for permission despite the flag being passed.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Launch Copilot CLI with: copilot --allow-all
  2. Issue a command that would normally require permission (e.g., a shell command)
  3. Observe that Copilot still prompts for confirmation instead of auto-approving

Expected Behavior

When launched with --allow-all, Copilot CLI should auto-approve all tool calls without prompting for user confirmation.

Actual Behavior

Copilot CLI still prompts for permission on tool calls as if --allow-all was not specified.

Environment

  • OS: macOS (Darwin/ARM64)
  • Copilot CLI version: 0.0.414
