[BUG] wrong path in "yes, allow reading from /// from this project" prompt

What's Wrong?
In executing on my plan, Claude Code found itself asking me for permission to run a command of the form
awk '/Style.*{/,/^}/' /Users/gthb/git/apiary3/node_modules/@jsfkit/types/dist/index.d.ts | grep -E "lengthy-regexp"
As usual the first option was "yes" and the second one was of the “yes, always allow” form ... but the exact option 2 had the file path ///:
Yes, allow reading from /// from this project
The lengthy regexp did not contain slashes, or anything else that looks like it might cause this. So the weird path /// was probably derived in some erroneous way from '/Style.*{/,/^}/' or from the file path.
What Should Happen?
Claude Code should already have had permission to read that, because that path is inside my project (which it has been working in for a while). But if it did need to ask permission, then the “always allow” option should have had a real path in it.

Steps to Reproduce
Get Claude Code to need to use an awk invocation like that. I really can't tell very well what about my project or the specific task that Claude Code was working on might cause it to generate this strange “always-allow” path.
