settings.local.json has WebSearch set to ask permission mode, but web searches execute without
prompting the user for approval.

### Config

{
\"permissions\": {
\"ask\": [
\"WebSearch\"
]
}
}
\
\\

### Expected
Claude should prompt before executing any WebSearch call.

### Actual
Multiple WebSearch calls executed in a single session with no prompt.

### Environment

  • macOS Darwin 25.3.0 (arm64)
  • Claude Code CLI"
