Hi, everyone!

In UE5.7+’s source code, [https://github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine/blob/release/Engine/Source/Programs/AutomationTool/Gauntlet/Unreal/Automation/UE.IncrementalCookByTheBook.cs#L19](https://github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine/blob/release/Engine/Source/Programs/AutomationTool/Gauntlet/Unreal/Automation/UE.IncrementalCookByTheBook.cs#L19),

it caused that when using project launcher editor do cooking, the “-zenstore“ will always be added to cooking command.

**I haven’t found any option to change it yet.**

Why the developers do this coding?
