When macOS says no, Aura says which folder
- Aura would refuse to switch on for a project and leave you with an error code and a Try again that could never work. The cause was macOS blocking access to a folder — and Aura had no way to know which folder, and no way to ask for it.
- It asks now. Aura checks the folders a project needs before it does anything else, from the app itself rather than through a helper it launches. That check is what makes macOS put up the permission panel at all: a helper cannot raise it, so an app that only ever asked through one was never asking.
- And when the answer is still no, the message names the folder. The confusing case is a linked copy of a project: the folder on screen is fine, while the Git folder behind it lives somewhere else entirely, usually inside Documents. The old message said “this folder”, which was true of a folder that was working perfectly.
- The button now opens the setting instead of retrying. Full Disk Access is one switch, and pressing Try again before you flip it can only ever fail the same way.
- It fixes your coding agents at the same time. Claude, Codex, Gemini and the rest were being refused those same folders for the same reason, and reported it as an internal error.

Fixes & improvements
A project Aura could not switch on gave an error code and an endless Try again — Aura now checks the folders itself, which is what prompts macOS for access
The permission message named the folder you were looking at rather than the one being refused, which for a linked copy is a different folder entirely
The button offers Full Disk Access when that is the fix, rather than a retry that cannot succeed until it is switched on
macOS asked for access with no reason attached, because Aura never said what it needed Documents, Desktop or Downloads for
Coding agents launched by Aura hit the same refusal and reported it as an internal error
