What's Wrong?

Description

When running Claude Code via the CLI, it explicitly asks the user to
confirm trust before accessing files in the working directory. This
prompt is absent when running Claude Code through the VSCode/Positron
extension.

Actual behavior

Claude Code reads files in arbitrary directories without any trust
prompt or user confirmation.

Impact

Any user with access to the machine can use the extension to read
(and potentially modify) files — including personal and sensitive
files — without any security checkpoint.

Environment

• Claude Code extension in Positron (VSCode-based)
• Windows 11

What Should Happen?

Same trust/permission prompt as in the CLI, asking the user to
explicitly confirm access to the directory.
