Bug Description
Title: Add "session only" vs "global" choice to permission prompts
Description:
When Claude Code asks for permission to perform an action (edit files, run commands), it would be helpful to have the option to choose:
- Approve for this session only - permission expires when session ends
- Approve globally - permission persists across sessions
Currently, the approval scope is determined automatically by tool type (bash = permanent, edits = session). Having user control would be more flexible.
Use case:
- Sometimes I want to temporarily allow a risky command just once
- Other times I want to permanently allow a safe command I use frequently
- Currently there's no way to choose at the moment of approval
Environment Info
