Companion App for iOS 2024.9: Getting ready for iOS 18

So, I have only used Apple Watch for activating specific scenes, those have been originally setup as IOS Actions in the app long time ago. It seems that I still need those scenes to be selected/activated in actions view for me to see them in the watch configuration view in the companion app.

Suddenly with 2024.9.3 (2024.894) from TestFlight all those scenes started requiring confirmation before running them without me changing anything.

When I started to investigate, I found the release blog post mentioning the confirmation option and some mentions about it in this comment thread, but no reference to a real documentation anywhere. Also I can’t find the option itself anywhere in the app.

This surely can’t be intentional functionality now? I fully understand the rationale behind adding such an option and it’s an amazing addition, but don’t see why it would be the default for old actions like mine.
