[Windows]Codex IDE full access still requests approval

[pablovela5620]

What version of Codex is running?

codex-cli 0.25.0

Which model were you using?

gpt-5 high reasoning

What platform is your computer?

Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.19045.0 x64

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Even with agent (full access) granted, the codex extension on vscode for windows still requires approvals. This is probably related to issue #2350 #2710 #2179

What is the expected behavior?

Approvals should never be asked for when full access is requested.

What do you see instead?

Constantly getting asked for approvals

Additional information

This is a pretty blocking issue for Windows that hasn't been addressed. Any workaround would be super helpful that doesn't involve directly patching the rust source code

I can confirm this issue exists. I tried overwriting both sandbox modes and approval modes via .vscode/settings.json and ~/.codex/config.toml, but the Visual Studio Code plugin continues to prompt for approval. Codex CLI respects the settings, but the Visual Studo Code plugin does not.

Yes makes it basically unusable which is a shame cause the rest of it seems so nice

I have the same issue, also tried setting the global

{
"chat.tools.autoApprove": true
}

in settings.json, and it didn't change a thing
