jamfHelper fs window that you can quit?

Question

Hi all! Question: we are sending out a policy using jamfHelpers "fs" window and I'm pretty sure in the past one was unable to exit out of it entirely (which is what we desire) but recently, I've seen (and tested) that hitting "command-Q" actually works to exit the fs window. Sometimes the fs window shows up then disappears after a few seconds on its own. Is this normal and/or anyone has seen before? Just curious. Test machines are M1 on Monterey.

Here's our script:

#!/bin/bash

# Variables
jamfHelper="/Library/Application Support/JAMF/bin/jamfHelper.app/Contents/MacOS/jamfHelper"


# Message prompt
"$jamfHelper" -windowType fs -heading "Test" -description "Hello! Try exiting this window" -icon /usr/local/jamf/logo.png

# Variables
jamfHelper="/Library/Application Support/JAMF/bin/jamfHelper.app/Contents/MacOS/jamfHelper"

# Message prompt
"$jamfHelper" -windowType fs -heading "Test" -description "Hello! Try exiting this window" -icon /usr/local/jamf/logo.png

Wouldn't help here if so :(
