What's Wrong?
When Claude tries to run a shell command with a $ at the end of an argument, for example this command:
go test -run TestScript/plugin_build$ ./cmd/cue/cmd
it prints:
Unhandled node type: $
and then always asks for permission even when I've previously granted it a command very similar or identical.
Here's screenshot of an example:

It seems like the Claude shell syntax parser is treating $ at the end of an argument as special, when
it's not.
What Should Happen?
I'd expect the usual ask for permissions, not this odd error.
