What's Wrong?

Bug: Permission system doesn't persist for files with square brackets

### Description
Permission prompts repeat for the same file even after selecting "Yes, allow all edits during this session"

### File path
apps/settings/[id]/[[...tab]].tsx

### Expected behavior
After selecting "allow all edits during this session", subsequent edits to the same file should not prompt for permission

### Actual behavior
Permission prompt reappears for every edit to this file

### Hypothesis
Square brackets in Next.js dynamic route filenames may interfere with path matching in the permission system

What Should Happen?

Claude Code should ask only once.
