What's Wrong?
When approving a git commit command that uses HEREDOC format, a fragment of the commit message content is incorrectly captured and added
to the permissions.allow array in .claude/settings.local.json, corrupting the file with invalid data.
The malformed entry looked like:
"Bash(3\")\n- Identified C-rule issue: universal rules flagged incorrectly\n\n🤖 Generated with Claude
Code\n\nCo-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>\nEOF\n)\")"
What Should Happen?
The permission should capture a valid command pattern like "Bash(git commit:*)" instead of a fragment of the HEREDOC content.

)"
- Approve the command when prompted
- Check .claude/settings.local.json - a corrupted entry appears in permissions.allow
