Closes: #1273.

Description

Enables giving Read or Write access to specific files, without giving full access on the workspace.

This is the equivalent of the existing auto-approve-commands allowlist, but for files (and much safer, and easier to implement).

Useful to restrict the agent e.g. to write notes that survive task switches and context condensation.

Example use cases:

  • You could use this to tell the agent to keep a coarse log of what's being done in ./notes.md, and you won't have to manually approve updates to that even if otherwise you review-and-approve every diff. This is expecially useful because many LLMs' context condensation is not very good: They will "forget" key commands upon condensation, thus starting to make mistakes or ask the user to help. With a reliable notes document where they can look up commands, this problem diappears.

  • Let Zoo sift through large amounts of data (larger than the context window) unattended in a mostly-read-only fashion but with the need to remember results reliably (unaffected by context compression). For example, if you have 1000 large text documents and want the LLM to record all occurrences of specific topics, without giving Write permissions to all files.

  • In the Zoo repo to allow automatic Auto-Approve only for ./webview-ui/src/i18n/** to update translations.

  • Auto-approving writes to a specific file outside the workspace, such as ~/.gitconfig when asking the agent to help you iterate on Git configuration.

Test Procedure

  • Tested with unit tests and manually

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 4ac2b

The PR adds scoped file read/write allowlists; the remaining concern is limited to Portuguese permission wording, alongside a routine visual verification follow-up. No actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal checks and review.

100-120: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Add coverage for allowedReadFiles and for batched reads.

These tests only prove that allowedWriteFiles implies read permission. Two changed behaviors stay untested:

  • allowedReadFiles granting a read while alwaysAllowReadOnly is false, and not granting a write.
  • The batched branch of isReadAllowedByPatterns. It approves only when every batchFiles entry matches, so a mixed batch must return ask.

Add these cases at the unit layer, either here or in a sibling allowedReadFiles.spec.ts.

💚 Suggested additional cases
it("approves a read for a file in allowedReadFiles", async () => {
	expect(
		await checkAutoApproval({
			state: { ...baseState, allowedReadFiles: ["notes.md"] },
			ask: "tool",
			text: JSON.stringify({ tool: "readFile", path: "notes.md" }),
		}),
	).toEqual({ decision: "approve" })
})

it("does not grant a write for a file only in allowedReadFiles", async () => {
	expect(await askToWrite({ path: "notes.md", state: { allowedReadFiles: ["notes.md"] } })).toEqual({
		decision: "ask",
	})
})

it("asks for a batched read when one file is not listed", async () => {
	expect(
		await checkAutoApproval({
			state: { ...baseState, allowedReadFiles: ["notes.md"] },
			ask: "tool",
			text: JSON.stringify({
				tool: "readFile",
				batchFiles: [
					{ path: "notes.md", key: "a", lineSnippet: "" },
					{ path: "src/index.ts", key: "b", lineSnippet: "" },
				],
			}),
		}),
	).toEqual({ decision: "ask" })
})

As per path instructions: "Add focused tests for UI binding and save behavior, persistence or normalization, and the value returned by getStateToPostToWebview(), including true and false/unset cases when defaults could hide omissions."

The default matcher is case-insensitive, so Secrets.md also grants access to a distinct secrets.md file on Linux. Can we make matching case-sensitive on case-sensitive platforms and add casing regression tests so the allowlist is not silently widened?

I had to rework this a bit. Gitignore style ! patterns didn't work as I wanted, and the behaviour in opened files without VSCode workspaces was surprising.

Now it should be much better.

@taltas please take another look.

I haven't addressed #1274 (comment) yet, will do that next.

"description": "Conceda acesso a arquivos específicos, sem aprovar automaticamente toda uma categoria de ações. Um padrão por linha, em sintaxe inspirada no .gitignore: \"notes.md\" corresponde a esse arquivo em qualquer diretório do espaço de trabalho, \"docs/scratch/**\" a tudo abaixo desse diretório e \"*.md\" a qualquer arquivo Markdown. Um padrão sempre nomeia arquivos, nunca diretórios: \"docs\" concede apenas um arquivo chamado \"docs\"; escreva \"docs/**\" para o conteúdo de um diretório. Um \"./\" inicial indica a raiz do espaço de trabalho, enquanto um \"/\" inicial indica a raiz do sistema de arquivos, de modo que \"/tmp/notes.md\" alcança fora do espaço de trabalho, assim como \"~/notes.md\", onde um \"~/\" inicial indica seu diretório pessoal. Prefixe um padrão com \"!\" para excluir o que uma linha anterior correspondeu; como no .gitignore, a última linha correspondente vence, então a ordem importa. Padrões relativos ao espaço de trabalho são ignorados enquanto nenhuma pasta estiver aberta. Maiúsculas e minúsculas são diferenciadas, exceto no Windows. Nada é aprovado automaticamente enquanto \"Aprovação automática\" acima estiver desativada.",

Os arquivos da lista de permissão de escrita abaixo sempre podem ser lidos também, então não precisam ser adicionados duas vezes. Listagens de diretórios e buscas sempre seguem a configuração \"Leitura\". Arquivos excluídos pelo .rooignore continuam ilegíveis de qualquer forma.",

Use explicit permission wording for .rooignore exclusions.

Line 316 uses ilegíveis, which means unreadable rather than inaccessible. Line 321 uses não graváveis, which is less direct for a permission restriction. Use wording such as não podem ser lidos and não podem ser gravados.

Proposed wording
-				"description": "Arquivos excluídos pelo .rooignore continuam ilegíveis de qualquer forma.",
+				"description": "Arquivos excluídos pelo .rooignore não podem ser lidos de qualquer forma.",
...
-				"description": "Arquivos excluídos pelo .rooignore continuam não graváveis de qualquer forma.",
+				"description": "Arquivos excluídos pelo .rooignore não podem ser gravados de qualquer forma.",

Also applies to: 321-321
