Bug Description
In the last two days, Claude Code is consistently making unauthorized changes to files where no prompt or direction was given to touch them. [Image #5] This is just one example, and it's becoming a pattern now and extremely concerning and breaking trust. I will submit more screenshots with feedback as I continue seeing this happen.
