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.
