What's Wrong?

I asked Claude code about a dotfile in a directory, but it ran a plain ls (without -a) and claimed the file didn't exist even though I explicitly named the existing dotfile.

What Should Happen?

When asked about a dotfile, the -a flag should be added to ls commands being run without having to be told so explicitly.

Error Messages/Logs

❯ What about .nmprc?

● There's no .npmrc file in the directory. Since the edge function uses Deno with npm: specifiers (e.g. npm:resend,
  npm:@supabase/supabase-js), no .npmrc is needed — Deno handles npm package resolution natively.

❯ In what directory are you looking?

● /redacted-dir/ — that's where ls showed only deno.json and index.ts.

❯ The file starts with a dot. ls will not show it.

● You're right. Let me check properly:

Steps to Reproduce

I'm unable to duplicate the problem. My attempts in independent claude code sessions with a skeleton example work correctly with -a being added to ls.
