What's Wrong?
When any agent in Claude Code uses the EnterWorktree tool, it creates a new worktree for a repository so it has not to deal with existing changes nor the current checked out repo. When it starts working in this worktree, it ignores the rules and is allowed to use Update/Read/Write calls on the worktree, even when the mode for the session is "Manual mode".
When I force it to work on the current repository, the tool calls ask me for permissions as they should.
What Should Happen?
Claude should always ask permission to use the URW tool calls
