"Failed to persist policy" error despite correct permissions #19919

Description

What happened?

I am receiving the error "✕ Failed to persist policy for run_shell_command" when selecting "allow for all future sessions". I have verified the following: 1. Permissions: The directory ~/.gemini/policies is writable by my user. 2. Configuration: settings.json has "enablePermanentToolApproval": true. 3. File State: The auto-saved.toml file exists, is valid TOML, and is not locked by other processes. This appears to be an internal issue with the CLI's persistence logic or sandboxing constraints preventing the write operation. System: Linux (aarch64)

[ACTION REQUIRED] 📎 PLEASE ATTACH THE EXPORTED CHAT HISTORY JSON FILE TO THIS ISSUE IF YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE SHARING IT.
