What's Wrong?
When I toggle a session to Bypass Permissions mode and then toggle to a different session or open a new session in the sidebar of the Desktop app, the Bypass Permissions mode doesn't persist and I end up having to go and approve a bunch of stuff
What Should Happen?
The Bypass Permissions mode should persist if you toggle it and agree to the risk even if you switch away
