Interesting... Yes if so that's a serious blocker.

I can confirm that I noticed this too. I also noticed that sometimes the dialog wouldn't show at all because the slave kept state that said that permission was denied (and hence it believed showing the dialog was redundant) when in fact my permission was never asked. Although this only happened for `mkdir` for me IIRC. So the slave might be mishandling state. At the same time, I'm not sure if the slave is in a position to handle such state (they're short-lived?).
Creating new files I believe also asks permission twice (one for file.part and the other for file.txt), that comes across as bad UX for me.
