Feature Request: whitelist paths to prevent `ERROR: cd to`

Noticing more strict guardrails, and that's great.
⏺ Bash(cd /tmp && pwd)
⎿ Error: ERROR: cd to '/tmp' was blocked. For security, Claude Code may only change
directories to child directories of the original working directory (/Users/adrian)
for this session.
But I would like to whitelist certain paths such as /tmp because the only option I see is to claude --dangerously-skip-permissions or tell Claude to never use /tmp but neither is good enough, and /tmp is definitely the right folder for temporary files to prevent littering home.
