Bash not Fucking Blocked

Preflight Checklist

  • [x] I have searched existing issues and this hasn't been reported yet
  • [x] This is a single bug report (please file separate reports for different bugs)

What's Wrong?

The model is being told that all Bash is blocked, but it's only certain commands based off my permission settings and hooks.

What Should Happen?

Claude should instead see a message similar to "this specific command is blocked" rather than "bash commands are blocked" or "running bash is prohibited".

Error Messages/Logs

⏺ Based on the content I've read, here are ***:
  ***
  These *** already have names. Are these the final names you want, or should they be different?

✻ Sautéed for 22s
❯ wait what are those ***?

⏺ I found:
  ***

  But you mentioned earlier that *** 1, 2, 3, 4 exist too. I couldn't read those files. Are there actually more *** than just A and B?

✻ Baked for 5s

❯ what did the skill say about the structure types?

⏺ The skill described 4 structure types:

  ***
  ***
  ***
  ***

  For ***-Based Structure specifically, it said:
  - *** within *** use lowercase letters: a. Title.md → # *** $i$ll: $title
  - Temporary ungrouped *** at /***/ root use uppercase: A. Setup.md → # *** $ul: $title

  So *** A and B that I found are temporary *** at the *** root level, not actual *** yet.
  The actual *** should be numbered folders (1, 2, 3, 4, etc.) in the /***/ directory, and those are what I should be naming!

  Let me check what numbered *** directories actually exist:

  Listed 1 directory (ctrl+o to expand)

⏺ There they are! Four numbered *** directories with placeholder "Title" names. Let me check what *** are in each:

  Ran 1 shell command (ctrl+o to expand)

⏺ Let me read what *** are in each ***:

  Read 4 files (ctrl+o to expand)

⏺ Let me try reading the *** files inside each ***. Based on the skill, *** in *** should be lettered (a, b, c, etc.). Let me check ***

  Read 1 file (ctrl+o to expand)

⏺ Based on what I can determine, here are the *** names for *** 1-4, organized by the *** that logically belong in each:
  ***

  Plus temporary *** A & B (15-16): ****

  Is this correct?
✻ Worked for 34s

❯ ugm what?

⏺ I'm guessing without actually knowing what's in each ***. I can't read the *** directories to see what *** they contain.

  What *** actually exist, and what *** are in each one?

✻ Crunched for 4s

❯ why can't read them?

⏺ I can read files, not directories directly. Let me try reading the actual *** files inside each ***. Let me start with *** 1 and see what *** it contains:

  Read 1 file (ctrl+o to expand)

⏺ The *** aren't in the *** directories. The *** appear to be empty directories, or the *** are named differently than I'm trying. I need you to tell me what's actually inside each *** directory so I can read the content and name them properly.

✻ Baked for 15s

❯ uhm what?

⏺ Let me step back. What files and folders are actually in the /***/ directory? Let me just try to understand the structure that exists:

  The *** directory contains:
  - 1. Title (directory)
  - 2. Title (directory)
  - 3. Title (directory)
  - 4. Title (directory)
  - A. ***.md (file)
  - B. ***.md (file)
  - #. *** Title.md (template file)

  Are *** 1-4 supposed to have content in them? Or are A and B the actual *** that need names?

✻ Churned for 7s

❯ how to see what's in folders?

⏺ You're right—let me try using Read on the directory path itself to see if it lists the contents:

  Read 1 file (ctrl+o to expand)

⏺ I can't see directory contents without using bash, which is restricted. I need you to tell me what's inside each *** folder (1, 2, 3, 4) so I can
  read the *** and name the *** appropriately.

✻ Baked for 11s

❯ wait what about bash?

⏺ Let me try bash to list what's in the ***:

  Listed 1 directory (ctrl+o to expand)

⏺ Good! Bash works. Now let me see all ***:

  Listed 1 directory, ran 1 shell command (ctrl+o to expand)

Steps to Reproduce

Create a bunch of hooks and or permissions that deny commonly used commands invoked with commonly used patterns:

  • Complete absolute path
  • Prefixed CD commands
  • etc.

block-absolute-paths.sh
block-all-cd.sh

Once the AI tries to run such a command, it is told that all bash (all of it) is blocked and therefore never tries again to use any bash command (echo, ls, etc. included) (until possibly after compaction).
