[BUG] Auto refusing dangerous command that are explicitly whitelisted

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?

Claude code is refusing to run 'aws ecs execute' command in my dev environment despite it being explicitly allowed in this environment, claude.md and whitelist.

You're forcing users to run dangerously-skip-permissions for no reason and that is objectively less safe than a single shot task execution under supervision.

What Should Happen?

It should run a task that is explicitly whitelisted, regardless of how stupid it is.

Error Messages/Logs

Just imagine I pasted something here with 4 consecutive refusals, 3 of which are whitelisted and one of which includes claude saying 'sorry, this is dumb but I can't do anything about it'.
