Description
When "accept edits on" is enabled (visible in status bar), the CLI still prompts for confirmation on every Edit tool call.
Steps to Reproduce
- Enable accept edits (shift+tab until status bar shows "accept edits on")
- Have Claude make an edit using the Edit tool
- CLI still shows the confirmation prompt:
```
Do you want to make this edit to FILE?
> 1. Yes
- Yes, allow all edits during this session (shift+tab)
- No
```
Expected Behavior
With "accept edits on" enabled, Edit tool calls should be automatically accepted without prompting.
Actual Behavior
Despite the status bar showing "accept edits on (shift+tab to cycle)", every edit still requires manual confirmation.
Environment
- Claude Code version: 2.1.7
- OS: macOS (Darwin 25.2.0)
- Terminal: Apple Terminal
Screenshot
The status bar clearly shows "accept edits on" while the confirmation prompt is displayed above it.
Notes
- Selecting "Yes, allow all edits during this session" repeatedly does not prevent future prompts
- The setting appears to be enabled but not respected by the edit confirmation logic
