What's Wrong?

When I invoke Claude Code with the --worktree flag and --dangerously-skip-permissions flag, at seemingly random points in the conversation, the --dangerously-skip-permissions is downgraded to accept edits on. This never happens when utilizing Claude Code without --worktree. I have also tried using without --worktree and asking Claude to create a worktree from within the session, and haven't seen this issue (but haven't done this extensively). When using Claude Code normally, --dangerously-skip-permissions is never downgraded.

What Should Happen?

--dangerously-skip-permissions should persist in sessions with the --worktree flag without any degradation

Error Messages/Logs

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Invoke Claude Code via CLI with the claude --dangerously-skip-permissions --worktree flags.
  2. Proceed with coding as normal.
  3. Watch for degradation of --dangerously-skip-permissions to accept edits on, requiring user approval on every future step.
