What's Wrong?

Permission prompt button order is inconsistent and thus inefficient and illogical, especially when there is an easy fix. That is, where now sometimes 1=Yes/2=No, and sometimes its reversed.

What Should Happen?

Please correct and standardize by simply swapping "1 and 2 between Yes/No depending on context. So the fixed should be: "1 [ALWAYS] =No; 2 [ALWAYS] =Yes; 3 [ALWAYS]=Yes+don't ask again" and then track the reduction of user errors who formerly, regrettably hit "2" and then had to stop and take the added time to correct it, because they thought they hit "Yes, don't ask again" but that option had been removed.

Steps to Reproduce

Since Claude asks you yes/no questions repeatedly - just track your historical data regarding the number of times people had to go back correct the input.
