#6060Regression: Auto-approve checkbox becomes unresponsive and flickers during model responses

Version: v3.23.14 API Provider: Various Model: Various

What happened?

The auto-approve checkbox in the chat interface exhibits critical safety and usability issues:

1. Safety Issue: During model responses, the checkbox sometimes becomes unresponsive or impossible to disable, preventing users from canceling unwanted auto-approvals when they realize the model is about to perform unintended actions.

2. Flickering/Responsiveness: The checkbox flickers and becomes non-responsive at various times, making it difficult for users to reliably control auto-approval settings.

Expected behavior

The auto-approve checkbox should:

• Always be clickable and responsive, especially during model responses
• Never flicker or become temporarily unresponsive
• Allow users to immediately disable auto-approval for safety when needed
• Provide consistent visual feedback of its current state

Steps to reproduce

1. Enable auto-approval for any operations
2. Start a conversation with the model that triggers tool usage
3. During the model response, attempt to disable the auto-approve checkbox
4. Observe that the checkbox may be unresponsive, flickering, or impossible to toggle

Safety Impact

This is a critical safety issue because:

• Users cannot stop unwanted auto-approvals once they realize the model is about to perform unintended actions
• There is often insufficient time to cancel a model response, making the checkbox the primary safety control
• The flickering behavior makes it unclear what the current auto-approval state actually is

Additional context

• The issue appears to be related to frequent re-renders during model responses
• Users need the ability to disable auto-approval at any time for safety
• The checkbox state calculations may be causing visual flickering between actual and effective states
