Allow AI Edit Status warnings to be dismissed without recomputing the edit

I would like Lightroom Classic to add a way to acknowledge and dismiss an AI Edit Status warning while preserving the existing AI result exactly as it is.

Currently, after using tools such as Denoise, Remove, Generative Remove, or AI masking, subsequent edits can cause the AI Edit Status icon to turn yellow. At that point my choices are essentially to leave a persistent yellow warning on the image or click Update and recompute the AI operation.

That is a problem because recomputing an AI edit is not necessarily a neutral operation. With Generative Remove in particular, the generated replacement can change. I may have already reviewed several variations and deliberately chosen the one I want. Adobe's own documentation recommends reviewing the result after updating AI settings, which makes clear that an update should not be treated as merely clearing a status message.

The yellow indicator is visually prominent and communicates that something remains unresolved. For a photograph that already looks exactly the way I want, I should be able to tell Lightroom:

Keep Current Result / Dismiss Warning

That command should:

  • preserve the currently rendered AI result;
  • stop displaying the yellow warning for that edit;
  • avoid regenerating or recomputing the AI operation;
  • leave the underlying edit available if I deliberately choose to update it later.

An AI-generated result can itself be part of the photographer's final editing decision. Once I have selected and accepted that result, Lightroom should not require me to recompute it simply to clear a warning from the interface.
