[Bug] Claude Code repeatedly requests permissions and forgets environment variables across sessions

Bug Description
Whenever tests are run I need to use environment variables. Claude keeps forgetting this. I am also prompted to give permission for grepping results for tests. It makes it impossible to be AFK and leave it running. I've asked claude to asjust permissions but it keeps asking. Also it has taken well over an hour and used lots of extra tokens to change a few files. This exprerience feels a lot worse than a few weeks back. I was 100% taken with Claude code but am starting to have second thoughts.
