CLI prompting for master password even when desktop app is unlocked

Hello,

I use the 1Password CLI with the desktop app integration.

In some scripts, I fetch items with op read .... Even though the desktop app is unlocked, I must always enter my master password once. At the very least, it's not for every op read ... call.

Would it be possible for the CLI to avoid always having to enter my master password when the desktop app is unlocked?

1Password Version: 8.10.40
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: Linux 6.6.52 (NixOS 24.05)
Browser: Not Provided

    I realized that I didn't have a Polkit authentication agent running. This is why I was always prompted to enter my master password, even though the desktop app was unlocked. Now that this is addressed, I am prompted with my system authentication. This is much better!
