Bug Description
write tool fails often, needs to read and then only write. So claude starts doing cat commands into /tmp folder and then moves them into the repo. Now, the move command isn't allowed in my allowlist - because of obvious reasons (claude can accidentally move the file into a zombie directory, specially for long running tasks). Can you please have this fixed itnernally? I have to tell it regularly to use touch+read and then write, which works.
