What's Wrong?

While using Claude Code, it ran the command Bash(rm -rf) on three occasions & executed the deletion, without asking for permission first.

I had not previously allowed any deletions in this project, and neither the global claude/settings.json nor .claude/settings.local.json had rm in the list of allowed commands. Also, I was not using --dangerously-skip-permissions.

What Should Happen?

It should request permission as usual, asking you to allow on this occasion, for all similar commands in future, or reject.
