What's Wrong?

When I run claude from the terminal in a folder with a settings.json in the .claude directory it says:

Ignoring 20 permissions.allow entries from .claude/settings.json: this workspace has not been trusted. Run Claude Code interactively here once and accept the trust dialog, or set projects["<folder removed>].hasTrustDialogAccepted: true in ~/.claude.json.

But I am running interactively.

What Should Happen?

It should prompt for trust

The problem seems to be because I had trusted my ~ home directory. That should have trusted this folder but instead did not and did not show the trust dialog. That is wrong.

can confirm. same issue on 2.1.197 with trusted home directory. claude itself traced it to this issue.

Thanks for the report. This was a real regression in 2.1.196: when a parent folder (e.g. your home directory) was already trusted, an interactive session in a subfolder that has .claude/settings.json allow rules skipped the trust dialog and printed the "this workspace has not been trusted" warning instead, so there was no way to accept.

This was fixed in 2.1.200. The trust dialog now appears in that case, lists the allow rules the folder would grant, and lets you accept or continue without them. See the changelog: https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md and the docs on project allow rules and workspace trust: https://code.claude.com/docs/en/permissions#project-allow-rules-and-workspace-trust

I re-tested on the current release, 2.1.233 (macOS): with the home directory trusted and a subfolder containing .claude/settings.json with two permissions.allow entries, launching claude interactively there shows the trust dialog listing both rules and no warning is printed.

Closing as fixed. If you still see this on 2.1.233 or later, reply here with your version, OS, and claude doctor output and we'll reopen.
