What's Wrong?

⏺ Diagnosis: Settings are correctly configured but not working. This appears to be a bug in
Claude Code.

Evidence:

• Both global (~/.claude/settings.json) and project (.claude/settings.json) have

bash.allowAll: true

• Sandbox disabled (enabled: false, allowUnsandboxedCommands: true)
• You've already restarted Claude
• Yet bash commands still require approval

This is a bug. Please report it at https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues with:

1. Title: "Bash permissions require approval despite allowAll: true after restart"
2. Details:

• Settings show bash.allowAll: true in both global and project configs
• Restarted Claude session multiple times
• Bash commands still trigger approval prompts
• macOS (Darwin 25.0.0)

Include the command that failed:
ls -la /tmp/claude_permission_test_* 2>/dev/null || echo "No test files yet"
