What's Wrong?

so in claude code during a testing instance at a certain point. all BASH call's were displayed as READ calls. audit directly to logs appears to show correct tool calling in the back end. it is only the front end having the issue of displaying the wrong tool tag and rendering that tools behavior. the issue being that BASH is a blocked tool (requiring an operator to approve.) while read is not. the bad behavior is that its simply not asking the operator to approve the BASH's now as the front end has identified them as only reads. . . . that IS BAD.

What Should Happen?

claude should properly display the tools being called and require the calls be approved where applicable.
