Cause (Documented platform behavior): persistApprovalMode writes tools.approvalMode to the workspace settings scope under a settings lock, but throws first when the workspace is not trusted.
Fix status: documented_behavior
Limitations:
- Source is the published @qwen-code/qwen-code 0.24.6 npm bundle (minified chunks); behaviour may differ in other versions.
- Not reproduced in this session.
Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):
- https://registry.npmjs.org/@qwen-code/qwen-code/-/qwen-code-0.24.6.tgz#package/chunks/run-qwen-serve-IIXONFKO.js (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): persistApprovalMode throws the quoted error when trustedWorkspace is false before writing tools.approvalMode.
