I think this message should disappear as soon as you do any operation,
same as other messages from operator. Then it can be ignored it
without having to do anything.

The red (X) button also looks more "threatening" than the reload
button to me. Further I think the message should be changed, "Script
failed to auto-run" makes it sound like it actually tried to run the
script but there was some error? I suggest:

[ (i) Auto-run script 'some_script.py' disabled | Reload Trusted | Ignore ]

It would also be nice if this could follow the same styling as operator reports.

Perhaps what we could do is store a list of .blend file hashes that
were trusted or created by the user somewhere.
