What's Wrong?

I am regularly prompted by Claude to give permission to read Claude.md, for example:

Allow Claude to Read CLAUDE.md?
/c/Users/me/.claude/CLAUDE.md

However, I have several rules in my settings.json that should allow this (these are Claude's attempts at fixing the problem):

      "Glob(**/.claude/**)",
      "Read(C:\\Users\\me\\.claude\\CLAUDE.md)",
      "Read(/c/Users/me/.claude/CLAUDE.md)",
      "Read(C:\\Users\\me\\.claude\\**)",
      "Read(/c/Users/me/.claude/**)",

Despite having these under permissions.allow, Claude still requests permission to read.

What Should Happen?

No permission prompt when reading global claude.md.
