What's Wrong?
Description
When I click "Yes, don't ask again" on a Bash command permission prompt,
the approval is not persisted. The confirmation prompt appears again on the next execution of the same command.
Steps to Reproduce
- Open Claude Code desktop app
- Ask Claude to run a Bash command that writes to a file
(e.g., echo "test" >> memo.txt)
- When the permission prompt appears, click "Yes, don't ask again"
- Ask Claude to run the same command again
- The permission prompt appears again
Expected Behavior
According to the documentation, Bash command approvals should be persisted
permanently per project directory and command.
Actual Behavior
The permission prompt appears every time, even after selecting "don't ask again".
Environment
- Client: Claude Code Desktop App
- OS: macOS (Darwin 25.3.0)
- Permission mode: Default
What Should Happen?
After selecting "Yes, don't ask again" for a Bash command,
the same command should be automatically approved in future executions
without showing the permission prompt again.
