Rule updates

When rules are added, removed, or modified at runtime (via /permissions command, API, or auto-mode approvals), the following update types are emitted:

  • addRules — Add one or more new rules to an allow/deny/ask collection and destination (scope).
  • removeRules — Remove one or more rules from a collection and destination.
  • replaceRules — Bulk replace all rules in an allow/deny/ask collection for a destination.
  • setMode — Set the permissions.defaultMode for a destination.
  • addDirectories — Add directories to permissions.additionalDirectories at a destination.
  • removeDirectories — Remove directories from permissions.additionalDirectories.

These updates are applied to the runtime context immediately and optionally persisted to the settings file. See PermissionUpdate.ts for schema details.
