I use nono.sh for sandboxing -- I think a lot of power users are using sandbox + YOLO mode because approval prompts slow them down

yes it's bad if the permission system is broken, but serious users have not trusted this stuff for a while, find the built-in permissions layer burdensome, and are already using a safety layer somewhere else

Which makes sense, but as long as the tool itself pretends to provide security features, the fact that these features don't work is a big problem, as it may provide a false sense of security to end users.

It'd be better if they had absolutely no permission enforcement and delegated it entirely to another program, as you say.
