Summary

  • Add 21 tests in packages/opencode/test/kilocode/permission/external-directory-allow.test.ts that reproduce and verify the expected behavior for issue Repeated external-directory read approval prompts even when external_directory and read are both set to allow #8391
  • Tests cover the full permission evaluation chain: Permission.evaluate unit tests, Permission.ask integration, Read tool execution, and config loading — all verifying that external_directory: "allow" + read: "allow" should prevent repeated prompts
  • Includes a reproduction path showing how KILO_CONFIG_CONTENT (used by the VS Code extension and cloud agents) can silently override user-configured permissions, which is one manifestation of the bug

Closes #8391

… override

Add 21 tests verifying that permission.external_directory and
permission.read set to allow correctly prevent repeated approval
prompts for external-directory reads.

Tests cover:
- Permission.evaluate returns allow when user config overrides defaults
- Permission.ask resolves immediately with allow ruleset
- Read tool does not block for external files when both permissions allow
- Multiple external directories handled without prompting
- KILO_CONFIG_CONTENT override as a bug reproduction path
- Truncate.GLOB post-processing does not interfere
- ConfigProtection bypasses file-tool external_directory requests
- always approval remains directory-scoped (negative test)

Closes #8391
const merged = Permission.merge(defaults(), user)
const ext = Permission.evaluate("external_directory", "/tmp/outside/*", merged)
// BUG PATH: user set "allow" but gets "deny" due to KILO_CONFIG_CONTENT override
expect(ext.action).toBe("deny")

WARNING: This assertion locks in the current override bug

This suite is meant to protect the user-visible fix for #8391, but expect(ext.action).toBe("deny") makes the current KILO_CONFIG_CONTENT precedence bug the expected outcome. If config precedence is corrected so the project-level external_directory: "allow" wins, this test will start failing and block the fix.

WARNING

File Line Issue
packages/opencode/test/kilocode/permission/external-directory-allow.test.ts 217 The reproduction test asserts the current KILO_CONFIG_CONTENT override bug (deny), which will fail once config precedence is fixed and can block the intended fix for #8391.
