Is there any way to trace where permissions prompts are coming from?

I'm running some code through Deno and its prompting for some permissions. How can I find out where these are coming form?

not 100% sure, but I think if you run without --prompt ( --no-prompt was removed in favour of --prompt IIRC ), or decline permission, doesn't it throw an exception with a stack trace pointing to the culprit?

I'm getting the following and I want to know what code is causing the prompt so I can fix it:
⚠️ ┌ Deno requests read access to <CWD>.
├ Requested by `Deno.cwd()` API
├ Run again with --allow-read to bypass this prompt.
└ Allow? [y/n] (y = yes, allow; n = no, deny) >

├ Run again with --allow-read to bypass this prompt.
└ Allow? [y/n] (y = yes, allow; n = no, deny) >
I can disable the prompt with --no-prompt but I'd like to fix this so others don't need to use that option

what happens if you deny? should throw an permission error. oh yeah, if the culprit is inside try catch block, it can be silent. so, yeah I'm dumb hopefully someone else can answer if it's possible to see the origin of permission prompt

The only place I call Deno.cwd(), I query that permissions are granted first. Best guess is that this comes from an npm dependency But without a stack trace I'm not sure

I'm guessing compat is the cause

Deno bundle doesn't work with npm dependencies yet
