Persistent Decisions

The Always Allow and Always Deny answers a machine remembers, and how to take them back.

When you answer a review with Always Allow or Always Deny, the answer is kept and the same tool is not asked about again. That is the point of it, and it is also why the list is worth reading now and then: an allow you granted during one afternoon's work keeps applying long after that work is finished.

See what is remembered
node9 decisions list
Every persistent decision for the current user, with the tool it applies to.
Take one back
node9 decisions clear <toolName>
Removes the decision for one tool. The next call reaches your policy again and is asked about normally.
Clearing everything is not reversible
node9 decisions clear-all
Removes every persistent decision at once. There is no undo and no record of what was there, so run node9 decisions list first if you might want the list back.
