The question used to read \"Allow reads outside the working directories?\". It now reads \"Allow this read outside the working directories?\".\n\n**Why**\n\nThe new wording makes clear that saying yes allows this one read and does not grant blanket access.\n\n- Area: Permissions\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5"}
