A file like this can change what gets picked up from a folder when it is loaded.\n\nThe list of refusal reasons is also shorter. It used to have four: `read_it_first`, `not_as_read`, `over_the_cap` and `refused`. Now it has two: `over_the_cap` and `refused`.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis is a new safeguard on reading files that can change what gets loaded from a folder.\n\n- Area: Permissions\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 3\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: yes"}
