What's Wrong?

Local permission settings (.claude/settings.local.json) are not preserved or re-read after conversation compaction, causing the AI to bypass ask permissions in continued sessions.

What Should Happen?

permission should be read. Before compacting, simple questions asked turn into unintended code changes after compaction. Claude wants task completion over what the user really wants.
