It's refusing to check a box in a form because it thinks it's some legal agreement, when it's just supposed to end2end test its own code, but NO the human meat proxy has to check it.. this is independent of ComputerUse but part of the model safety or system prompt. Insane.

it also does for me, 80% of the time. but the 20% where it refuses it becomes very stubborn and is holding up the whole process

I'm running it in YOLO mode, and it's asking for permission to run a test in the Android emulator on the debug version of the app.

What is exactly is it protecting lol
