why was it decided that brew should now attempt to upgrade casks with auto_updates true? and how to disable this behavior?

Description of issue

i don't like this new behaivor. I understand i can disable this by setting the environment variable HOMEBREW_NO_UPGRADE_AUTO_UPDATES_CASKS. should i just put it in my shell config? or is there a better way ?

Relevant casks

Casks with auto_updates are only upgraded if the latest version in the tap is confirmed as being older than the currently installed version. Previously they were skipped because there was no mechanism to know which version was actually installed on the system and now that we have a mechanism for this, we can upgrade applications if we have confidence that they haven't already been auto updated.

If you put export HOMEBREW_NO_UPGRADE_AUTO_UPDATES_CASKS=1 in your shell config you can opt out.

I understand that. But the problem is every time homebrew updates a cask, opening it next time macos prompts me with the well known "This app was downloaded from the internet, apple checked it for malicious software and none was detected..." confirmation which is more than slightly annoying.

This is a bug that should be reported, not the expected behaviour. You should only be prompted to re-approve the application when the developer ID used to codesign the application changes.
