[BUG] permissions strings matching is broken claude prompts for permission repeatedly
Preflight Checklist
- [x] I have searched existing issues and this hasn't been reported yet
- [x] This is a single bug report (please file separate reports for different bugs)
- [x] I am using the latest version of Claude Code
What's Wrong?
I researched the issue and even ask Claude to debug it to no avail.
Claude itself wrote: "Sorry for the frustration — the prompts during the forensic report were disruptive and the permission system clearly isn't behaving as documented. "
- Command form: PGPASSWORD=$PGPASSWORD_DI psql -h localhost -p $PORT_DI -U postgres -d ...
- Patterns tried that failed: Bash(PGPASSWORD), Bash(PGPASSWORD=), Bash( psql )
- Expected: no prompt; Actual: prompted every time
- Version: 2.1.129
What Should Happen?
The Bash commands being used should match the permissions in the global settings.json file and Claude shouldn't ask for permissions over and over.
