What's Wrong?

When adding an empty file (i.e., .gitkeep) the plugin triggers approval in Jetbrains with no content. Selecting OK causes the response to trigger a cancelled by user event in claude.

Write(assets/fonts/.gitkeep)
⎿  User rejected write to assets/fonts/.gitkeep
1 (No content)

This can cause subsequent events to fail.

What Should Happen?

Claude should be able to create the .gitkeep file by either intercepting the response from JetBrains software, or apply via the cli via touch assets/fonts/.gitkeep (using the sample above), bypassing the JetBrains empty file content.
