What's Wrong?

I have a completely new folder (no previous project/current files here), as I have no code, I am telling CC to process a previous project folder that is path-relative.

I send the prompt and it asks for permission to read that other folder (which is above the current project root)
This is fine, I can press 'yes' and it carries on, but as the permission prompts are disruptive, I want to press "yes and don't ask again", e.g. save this permission

When I press this, the VSCode extension window goes completely white and I lose the session/chat

What Should Happen?

Claude should write the ./.claude/settings.local.json file with the permissions in it and continue with the task

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Using vscode and latest CC
  2. Create a new blank folder
  3. Open this folder in vscode
  4. Start CC
  5. Prompt it to do something that is going to ask for permission (in my case this was scan another folder outside the project root)
  6. When it asks for permission, click 'yes and don't ask again'
