What's Wrong?

When Claude Code asks for permission to run a bash command and the user selects No, it executes the command anyway, then immediately asks for permission for the next command — completely ignoring the denial.
This repeats in a loop. The only way to stop it was to force-quit with Ctrl+D.

What Should Happen?

Selecting "No" should deny execution and stop or reconsider the current task.
