[BUG] Claude Code prompts me to allowlist the parent directory when the current directory has spaces in it

What's Wrong?

When I try to do things in a directory with spaces in it, Claude Code gets confused and thinks that the parent directory is the directory that needs permissions.

This appears to be a duplicate of the unfixed and autoclosed #9611.

What Should Happen?

It shouldn't prompt me to allow things in the parent folder (Fonts/). It should prompt me to allow things in the current folder (Abbots Morton Spaceport Mono/).

Steps to Reproduce

1. Make a project directory with spaces in it.
2. Run claude in the directory.
3. Ask Claude to do stuff in the directory that involves, say, running ls or find or git log.
