[FEATURE] Root dir permission request
Preflight Checklist
- [x] I have searched existing requests and this feature hasn't been requested yet
- [x] This is a single feature request (not multiple features)
Problem Statement
The current workflow always ask for super internal dirs Read permissions and etc,
making the "Accept edits on" mode quite redundant, as you still need to give it 100 clicks of "Yes, allow X from Y/ from this project", while in most cases people would just want to give it full access to the root dir of the project, so it would do what's needed, within the given scope.
Proposed Solution
There should be an option to give full read write permissions to a certain directory -- whether if it's in the conversation permissions granting prompt or through an internal Claude Code command

Use Case Example
Example scenario:
- You start a claude code session in your repo's root dir
- You enable the "Allow Edits mode"
- You give Claude a prompt to complete
- You go grab a cup of coffee
- You can come back and see the task literally done, instead of being mad at a "Can I read config/google_dns.ini"? with two lines of code written since you've been gone
