What's Wrong?
Issue #11480 was marked as completed on Dec 6, 2025, but the bug still persists. Successful bash commands display
"Error: Exit code 1" because zsh writes working directory tracking files to paths outside the sandbox-allowed
directory.
## Actual Behavior
● Bash(git status)
└ Error: Exit code 1
zsh:1: operation not permitted: /tmp/claude-501/cwd-xxxx
On branch main
nothing to commit, working tree clean
The command succeeds, but shows "Error: Exit code 1" due to zsh failing to write to /tmp/claude-501/cwd-*.
What Should Happen?
Successful commands should show success, not error. Either:
- Allow writes to
/tmp/claude-*/patterns (not just/tmp/claude/) - Or suppress the misleading error when command output indicates success
