The copilot CLI flashes the permission prompt UI, even though extension has approved.

I'm working on an extension that would auto approve based on some rules.

// Deferred fire-and-forget logger — session isn't available until joinSession resolves
let _session = null;
const log = (msg) => { if (_session) _session.log(msg).catch(() => {}); };
...

onPermissionRequest: (request) => {
        const toolName = request.toolName ?? "";
        const toolArgs = {};
        if (request.fullCommandText) toolArgs.command = request.fullCommandText;
        if (request.fileName) toolArgs.path = request.fileName;

        // 1. deny rules first
        for (const rule of parsedDeny) {
            if (matchRule(rule, toolName, toolArgs)) {
                log(`DENY (permission) tool=${toolName} kind=${request.kind} rule="${rule.raw}"`);
                return { kind: "denied-by-rules", rules: [rule.raw] };
            }
        }

        // 2. allow rules — auto-approve
        for (const rule of parsedAllow) {
            if (matchRule(rule, toolName, toolArgs)) {
                log(`APPROVE (permission) tool=${toolName} kind=${request.kind} rule="${rule.raw}"`);
                return { kind: "approved" };
            }
        }

        // 3. no match — let CLI handle (prompt user)
        log(`NO MATCH (permission) tool=${toolName} kind=${request.kind}`);
        return { kind: "no-result" };
    },

In the cli i see the UI prompt none the less, if i do nothing, i see the tool call get approved and complete in the background.
If i'm fast enough or am on autopilot with limited permissions then the ui prompt rejects the tool call and fails it.

I do not think the CLI is correctly sequencing and waiting on extensions for permissions flow.
