That allowed local network connectivity for me without a restart. I did not see any notifications.

Internal requirements count=1 size=216Right now homebrew shows "Not installed" and I recall downloading the release and trying to install it over the older version. Unfortunately this can't be done while iTerm is running. The in-app upgrade gets around that, but still needs a restart to be able to use iTerm on the local network.
From what I can tell from https://formulae.brew.sh/api/cask/iterm2.json it is pulled from https://iterm2.com/downloads/stable/iTerm2-3_6_9.zip so the signature should be the same as the "official" installation from the site. (I did not look at any of the pre-release options from homebrew.)
I'll check on the next upgrade that I take.
This has been a problem with every update to iTerm2. It is crippling. There is no clean way that I have found to get it to obtain the Local Network permission. Rebooting the whole machine after a version update is not an acceptable option.
I had explored the Triggers window previously to get prompt detection working. AFAIK, it was closed after each edit. I recall checking that the Preferences window was closed with this anomaly started appearing. I since updated to Sequoia 15.7, resulting in a reboot. Of course, I can no longer replicate the issue, with or without the Preferences window open.
