Edits targeting the agent skills directory (project `.agents/skills/` and global `~/.agents/skills/`) always prompt regardless of permission settings, because they route through `authorize_always_prompt` which never consults the persisted `always_allow` rules. The permission prompt still rendered an "Always allow" button, though. Clicking it wrote an `always_allow` rule into settings that was then silently ignored on the next skills edit, so users were re-prompted every time despite having chosen "always allow" — exactly the confusion reported in AI-346. This keeps the always-prompt behavior intact and just hides the misleading "Always allow" / "Always deny" options for skills, leaving once-only Allow/Deny. Applies to all mutating skills tools: `edit_file`, `write_file`, `copy_path`, `move_path`, `delete_path`, and `create_directory`. Implementation: - New `ToolPermissionScope::AgentSkills`, set via `ToolPermissionContext::for_agent_skills()`. - `build_permission_options` returns flat once-only Allow/Deny for that scope (mirrors the existing `SymlinkTarget` handling). - Wired into both authorization entry points (`authorize_file_edit` and `authorize_with_sensitive_settings`). - Tests assert no `AllowAlways` option is offered for each affected tool. Settings-file prompts (`.zed/settings.json`, global config) are intentionally left unchanged. Closes AI-346 Release Notes: - Removed the misleading "Always allow" button from agent permission prompts for edits to the agent skills directory, since those edits always require confirmation.
