🔁 Steps to Reproduce

When using IPC sockets to automate RooCode tasks, RooCode waits for user input in some cases even though I set every possible/exposed allow flag to true.

1. Getting a resource still requires user approval (tool calls go through automatically, but I have to add them all to the allowed list in MCP definition -- would be nicer if there was a "all" key)
2. TODO lists still require user interaction
3. A bit of knit-picking, but if the rules require user questions there is no way to skip those with a default or have the model choose one

💥 Outcome Summary

I expect the task to start and end without any intervention from the user since I want automation

I'm exploring a potential fix for the automation issues with IPC sockets. I'll investigate the three points mentioned:

1. Resource approval requirements despite allow flags
2. TODO list user interaction requirements
3. Required user questions that can't be skipped with defaults

I'll open a PR to share progress once I have a solution.

✅ Fix implemented and PR created!

I have successfully implemented a fix for this issue. The problem was that the Task.ask method was not checking the auto-approval flags before waiting for user input.

Solution

Added auto-approval logic to the Task.ask method that:

• Checks if autoApprovalEnabled is true
• Auto-approves MCP server requests when alwaysAllowMcp is true
• Auto-approves TODO list updates when alwaysAllowUpdateTodoList is true
• Auto-approves followup questions when alwaysAllowFollowupQuestions is true

Pull Request

🔗 PR #7566: #7566

The PR includes:

• Implementation of auto-approval logic in src/core/task/Task.ts
• Comprehensive unit tests covering all scenarios
• All CI checks are passing ✅

This fix enables complete automation via IPC sockets without any user intervention when the appropriate allow flags are set, making RooCode fully scriptable for CI/CD and other automation scenarios.

Please review the PR when you get a chance. Let me know if you need any adjustments!
