Problem Statement

When Claude Code prompts for tool approval, the deny/reject option appears at position 2 or 3 depending on how many options are shown. For users with dyslexia or cognitive accessibility needs - particularly those using screen readers - this inconsistency creates a real risk of accidentally approving a tool action when intending to deny it.

Proposed Solution

Request: Fix the deny option at a consistent position - ideally a high number like 9, clearly separated from the approval options. This mirrors established accessibility patterns (e.g. "Cancel" buttons placed away from "OK" in system dialogs) and removes the cognitive load of checking where the negative option is each time.

Impact: Low engineering effort, meaningful accessibility improvement for users who rely on muscle memory or assistive technology to navigate prompts safely.
