Research direction

Start by reproducing the repeated permission request for /work/.venv/bin/python in GitHub Copilot CLI 1.0.83 while developing a Python app. Check whether an approved access-list entry is consulted on subsequent requests; done means the permission is remembered and the prompt no longer repeats.
