What's Wrong?

Claude Code triggers repeated macOS permission popups for protected folders (Desktop, Documents, Downloads) even after granting permission. The popup shows "1.0.112 would like to access files in your [folder] folder" and reappears every time Claude Code updates itself.

What Should Happen?

It should not be opening this prompt all of the time.
