bug: Codex Default Permissions inherits auto-review setting #2770

Description

@HMWCS

What is broken

When approvals_reviewer = "auto_review" is configured in ~/.codex/config.toml, Paseo Default Permissions inherits it and behaves like Auto-review.

Paseo defines these as separate modes:

  • Default Permissions: the user reviews approval requests
  • Auto-review: Codex reviews eligible requests automatically

However, Default sets approvalPolicy: "on-request" and sandbox: "workspace-write" without explicitly setting approvalsReviewer: "user".

Expected behavior

Default Permissions should always use the user as the approval reviewer, regardless of the global Codex configuration.

Actual behavior

Default Permissions inherits approvals_reviewer = "auto_review", making it effectively identical to Auto-review.
