[Bug]: Essentials constantly asks for root

[Backslash-Elif]

Bug Description

Essentials keeps asking for root (typically in bursts of 2-4 times over a few seconds) while I’m doing various things. Up to now it has asked for root during those activities:

• opening the app
• navigating through app screens
• taking a screenshot (?)
• upon device boot (fair enough but you’ll see later why this is relevant)
• device wake (same note as above)

Additionally I want to add that previously I have granted Essentials root permission, seeing the spam I revoked it though and turned off the “use root” setting within the app but it keeps asking for root.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Be root & have shizuku installed
2. deny or grant root permissions for Essentials
3. observe how magisk spams denied/ granted toasts for Essentials

Expected Behavior

• When root granted should only ask for root at "reasonable" times (install, boot, open…)
• should only ask once (instead of bursts of 2-4)
• if “use root” toggle is off shouldn’t be asking for root at all

Ohhh was not aware of this situation as I can't test on the device. I will try some bling fixes soon.

I might be getting into some busy days but will try to do a test build with some fixes and send for testing :)

Can anyone confirm if this is now fixed or not?

Edit: NVM, I didn't do a release after. Will do soon
