VSCode: Permission prompt has no 'No' option - cannot decline
Resolved 💬 4 comments Opened Feb 1, 2026 by SamAtPayOnward Closed Feb 4, 2026
Bug Description
When Claude Code in VSCode shows a permission prompt (e.g., "Allow this bash command?"), there is no way to decline. The only options presented are:
- Yes
- Yes, allow git commit for this project (just you)
There is no "No", "Reject", or "Cancel" option visible. Pressing Escape has no effect either.
Expected Behavior
There should be a "No" or "Reject" option to decline the permission request.
Steps to Reproduce
- Open Claude Code in VSCode
- Ask Claude to run a bash command (e.g., git commit)
- When the permission prompt appears, try to decline — there is no option to do so
Screenshots
Unable to attach screenshots via CLI — see related bug. The permission prompt shows only two "Yes" variants with no way to scroll to a "No" option or dismiss the prompt.
Environment
- VSCode on Windows (WSL2)
- Linux 6.6.87.2-microsoft-standard-WSL2
- Node v24.13.0
Additional Notes
A second related bug: gh issue create does not support attaching images, making it impossible to file visual bugs from the CLI. Filing separately.
