How can I disable this message? Or make it remember I've given permission? (MacOS 13.1 Intel)

Happening in VSCode when running C++ or C with debugger/runner. Pop-up appears every time. Even confirming 'OK' does not help. It still pops up every time, ad infinitum.

I've been able to get it go away a few times over the past weeks, but I cannot see the pattern that made it happen. Meaning, it must be possible

Details:

I'm working in the Documents folder and cannot move the project out (so pls don't suggest this as the fix)
I've given 'Full Disk Access' to the Vcode, the execuable, the C and C++ code file, and Xcode (just in case it's get used somewhere)
Can simply not use VScode to compile and run code, i.e. use terminal, but debugging is where this really becomes a bottleneck.

Has gone beyond being nuisance into hindrance. Please help me stop it.

Is your executable an application? Is it code signed?

@JWWalker It's a C lang binary, so yes it's an executable. I had to look up code signed. Unless it's happening w.o my knowledge my OS, it's not code signed.

@JWWalker It's a C lang binary file. The application is a bunch of C files. I'm familiar w code signing.

@JWWalker The folder is comprised of C files. The main file is a C binary executable (that runs fine). I'm not familiar with code signing.
