What's Wrong?

Bash permission patterns containing >> (append
redirect) in .claude/settings.local.json do not
auto-approve, while other Bash patterns in the same
file work correctly.

What Should Happen?

Expected: Both auto-approve since both are in the
allow list with the same glob syntax.

Actual: Patterns with >> redirect always prompt.
Patterns without shell operators work fine.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Add to .claude/settings.local.json allow list:

• "Bash(curl hooks.slack.com)"
• "Bash(echo >> audit*)"

1. Run curl -s -X POST "https://hooks.slack.com/..." →

auto-approves ✅

1. Run echo '{"key":"value"}' >>

/path/audit/audit.jsonl → prompts for approval ❌
