Clipboard warning fires on every voice dictation (Wispr Flow) — Windows desktop app

What happens

Every voice prompt dictated with Wispr Flow triggers:

Your app copied to the clipboard during Claude's interaction. If you didn't expect that, check it before pasting.

Wispr Flow inserts dictated text by writing it to the system clipboard and pasting it. That is its normal insertion method, so the warning fires on every single voice prompt.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Install Wispr Flow on Windows.
  2. Open the Claude Code desktop app in a project.
  3. Put the cursor in the Claude Code prompt box.
  4. Dictate a prompt instead of typing it.
  5. The clipboard warning appears.

Expected

Clipboard writes from the user's own dictation tool should not raise a security warning, or there should be a way to suppress or allowlist it.

Actual

The warning appears on every dictated prompt. I found no setting to turn it off — not in ~/.claude/settings.json, not in the documented settings, and not in /config.

Notes

This is new behaviour. I used Wispr Flow with Claude Code for months and never saw this message before. It started recently, so it looks like a regression or a newly added check. I do not know which version introduced it.

The check cannot distinguish a user-initiated paste from a page-initiated clipboard write, so a legitimate dictation tool trips it constantly.

Environment

  • Claude Code: 2.1.246
  • OS: Windows 11 Pro 10.0.26100
  • Surface: Claude Code desktop app
  • Dictation tool: Wispr Flow

**Request

Add a setting to suppress this warning, or allowlist clipboard writes that originate outside the rendered page.
