[BUG] macOS 27 Golden Gate beta: Claude Code re-requests Files & Folders access on every auto-update (new TCC entry per version)

What's Wrong?

Environment:

• macOS 27 beta "Golden Gate" (26A5353q)
• Claude Code native install, auto-update enabled
• claude --version: 2.1.185 (Claude Code)

What happens

On macOS 27 beta "Golden Gate", each Claude Code version registers as a separate entry in System Settings → Privacy & Security → Files & Folders, labeled by raw version number (2.1.169, 2.1.170, 2.1.172 …) rather than a single stable "Claude Code" entry. Because the CLI auto-updates ~daily, a new entry appears each day and file access must be re-granted every time. There's no way to grant durable/blanket access since the prior grant doesn't carry forward.

Likely cause

TCC appears to be keying permissions to the versioned binary path/identity instead of a stable bundle ID or designated-requirement code signature. macOS 27's TCC changes seem to have tightened this. Worth confirming the native binary carries a stable signing identity and that auto-update preserves it.

What Should Happen?

A single stable TCC identity for Claude Code so file-access grants persist across auto-updates (one "Claude Code" entry, not one per version).

Error Messages/Logs

Steps to Reproduce

1. Install Claude Code (native) on macOS 27 beta "Golden Gate"
2. Grant Files & Folders access
3. Let it auto-update (or claude update)
4. Observe new version → new TCC prompt → previous grant not inherited

Additional Information

Impact: Daily permission friction; blanket/durable permission impossible. Will affect all native-install users once macOS 27 ships.
