What's Wrong?
My shell program has full disk access. I added ~/desktop to permissions. Claude Code CLI still cannot read it. I understand the intention, however if I have given my terminal full disk access and Claude Code CLI permissions. I sholud be able to access whatever folder I need. Thank you
What Should Happen?
Claude Code CLI should be able to access the desktop.
