Desktop app: "Auto-approve requests" setting toggle cannot be turned on and does not persist

[liudongyan13701205717-source]

Feature hasn't been suggested before.

• I have verified this feature I'm about to request hasn't been suggested before.

Describe the bug

On the OpenCode desktop app (Windows 11, v1.18.15), the "Auto-approve requests" (auto-approve permissions) toggle in Settings cannot be turned on: clicking it does nothing / it stays off or greyed out.

Additionally, the toggle's state does not persist to ~/.config/opencode/opencode.jsonc (no permission-related change is written), so there is no way to enable auto-approval from the desktop UI.

Manually adding "permission": { "*": "allow" } to the global config file also still results in permission prompts for some actions (e.g. external directory access / doom-loop detection are ask by default and the UI has no way to change them).

Expected behavior

• The Settings toggle should turn on/off and persist (either to opencode.jsonc or app-local settings).
• Turning it on should behave like --auto mode (auto-approve requests that are not explicitly denied).

Environment

• OS: Windows 11
• App: OpenCode Desktop v1.18.15

This issue might be a duplicate of existing issues. Please check:

• Desktop v1.18.3 — "Auto-accept permissions" settings toggle permanently disabled (cursor: not-allowed) #37617: Desktop auto-accept permissions settings toggle permanently disabled (same symptom — toggle non-functional in desktop app)
• [Bug] v1.17.10 - Can't use the toggle to Auto Approve Permission in settings. #33788: Can't use the toggle to Auto Approve Permission in settings (same bug reported in v1.17.10)

If your issue is the same, please add a reaction or comment on the existing issue rather than opening a new one. If it differs (e.g. different root cause or new regression), please clarify what distinguishes it.

Confirmed duplicate of #37617 / #33788 — same symptom on Desktop 1.18.15 (Windows 11): the Settings → General "Auto-accept permissions" toggle stays disabled (not-allowed), never persists a value.

Also confirmed the workaround from #37617 works: pressing Ctrl+Shift+A (Mod+Shift+A) inside an active chat toggles auto-accept for the current session — the runtime feature works fine, only the Settings UI entry is broken.

Please track this under #37617 / #33767. Closing this one is fine; keeping it open just for visibility on 1.18.15.
