[MODEL] "Do you want to make this edit to....." --> overwhelming repetitive prompts after "2.Yes,allow...."
Preflight Checklist
- [x] I have searched existing issues for similar behavior reports
- [x] This report does NOT contain sensitive information (API keys, passwords, etc.)
Type of Behavior Issue
Claude ignored my instructions or configuration
What You Asked Claude to Do
During sessions, Claude repetitively asks me dozens/hundreds of times during the session for:
"Edit file [my folder\my file.HTML]:
Do you want to make this edit to [my file.HTML]?
Each time I respond with: "2. Yes, allow all edits during this session (shift+tab)"
yet immediately and repetitively Claude keeps asking.
I have researched and modified my settings.json file to include the following and instructed Claude to read and confirm yet the prompts continue every 5-10 seconds during session. This is so terribly inefficient, how do I stop this and increase Claude's efficiency to follow my instructions?.....or what instructions are needed to instruct Claude to not prompt?
.claude/settings.json
{
"alwaysThinkingEnabled": true,
"sandbox": {
"enabled": true,
"autoAllowBashIfSandboxed": true,
"excludedCommands": ["docker"],
"network": {
"allowUnixSockets": ["/var/run/docker.sock"],
"allowLocalBinding": true
}
},
"permissions": {
"allow": [
"Edit(C:\\Users\\[ME]\\.claude\\projects\\[My Project]\\)",
"Write(C:\\Users\\[ME]\\.claude\\projects\\[My Project]\\)"
],
"deny": [
"Read(.envrc)",
"Read(~/.aws/**)"
]
}
}
What Claude Actually Did
Claude is Ignoring the Settings.json instructions for Allow / read, edit, write and continued to ask for prompt/permission although already provided.
Expected Behavior
Follow instructions to read, edit, write and continue development without asking repeatedly.
Files Affected
Permission Mode
Accept Edits was ON (auto-accepting changes)
Can You Reproduce This?
Yes, every time with the same prompt
Steps to Reproduce
Start a session and instruct any change.

Relevant Conversation
I will follow. [which claude does not]
Update your settings.json file [which I did, yet claude does not follow]
Edit the file manually yourself [Not what I have Claude for]
Restart the session to get Claude to reset/follow setting.json instructions [too many times to count/no change]
It's a system issue, submit a ticket. [here I am]
Impact
Critical - Data loss or corrupted project
Claude Code Version
Claude Code v2.0.53 Opus 4.5
Platform
Anthropic API
Additional Context
This started about ~3 weeks ago, thought it strange, did research, updated settings, brought it to Claude's attention, the issue has persisted so much that it's getting to a point that Claude/Code is nearly unusable with the massive continued distractions; literally every few seconds and I just keep hitting '2.Yes/Allow during session' yet no change in behavior.
