[BUG] EPERM: operation not permitted accessing ~/Library/CloudStorage/ despite Full Disk Access enabled

Preflight Checklist

• [x] I have searched existing issues and this hasn't been reported yet
• [x] This is a single bug report (please file separate reports for different bugs)
• [x] I am using the latest version of Claude Code

What's Wrong?

Claude Code cannot access files in ~/Library/CloudStorage/ (Google Drive via the Google Drive desktop app), returning EPERM: operation not permitted on all read/write attempts. This affects both direct file reads and bash commands like ls. All access attempts return EPERM: operation not permitted. Terminal with Full Disk Access enabled has no issue accessing the same path. Symlinks pointing to the CloudStorage path also fail.

What Should Happen?

Claude Code should be able to read and write files in ~/Library/CloudStorage/ after Full Disk Access is granted, the same way Terminal can.

Note: This worked previously - only stopped working after Claude update on 02/18
