What
Shell commands that include the & background operator now always trigger an approval prompt, regardless of existing allow rules.
Details
- The
&operator defers execution past approval-time safety checks, so it cannot be pre-approved reliably. - The prompt message explains: "This command uses the
&background operator, which defers execution past approval-time safety checks. Approve only if you trust it." - This does not apply to
&&(and-then) or&>(output redirect); only actual backgrounding operators.
Evidence
New safety check (search for "background operator, which defers execution past approval-time safety checks")
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
