What's Wrong?

Title: Trust dialog reappears every session — hasTrustDialogAccepted not persisted on /exit

Version: 2.1.167
Platform: Linux (Ubuntu), CLI

---

Describe the bug

The "Do you trust the files in this folder?" dialog reappears every session for a given working directory, even after clicking "Yes, proceed" and exiting cleanly with /exit. Acceptance is never saved.

To reproduce

1. Open Claude Code in any directory (e.g. /home/ubuntu)
2. Accept the trust dialog when prompted
3. Exit using /exit, then close the terminal
4. Reopen Claude Code in the same directory
5. Trust dialog appears again

Repeats every session indefinitely.

Root cause (confirmed)

The field hasTrustDialogAccepted in ~/.claude.json (under projects["/your/path"]) remains false after /exit. The value is never written back. For comparison, other project paths that were trusted in earlier versions have both hasTrustDialogAccepted: true and lastGracefulShutdown: true — confirming the schema is correct, just not being written.

Workaround

Manually edit ~/.claude.json and set hasTrustDialogAccepted: true for the affected path. This survives restarts as long as Claude Code doesn't rewrite the project entry (e.g. after an update).

Expected behavior

Accepting the trust dialog once per directory should persist across sessions.

What Should Happen?

Accepting the trust dialog once per directory should persist across sessions.
