Describe the bug
Claude Code is prompting for permission when reading files under
~/.claude/despite having explicit permission configured insettings.json.Configuration
In
.claude/settings.json:{ "permissions": { "Read:~/.claude/**": true } }Additionally, my
~/.claude/CLAUDE.md(global instructions) explicitly states:Expected behavior
Claude should be able to read
~/.claude/NOTES.mdwithout prompting for permission, as it matches the configuredRead:~/.claude/**permission pattern.Actual behavior
When Claude attempts to read
~/.claude/NOTES.md, the system still prompts the user for permission and returns this error when rejected:Steps to reproduce
"Read:~/.claude/**": truein.claude/settings.json~/.claude/(e.g.,~/.claude/NOTES.md)Environment
Impact
This breaks workflows that rely on Claude automatically managing notes/state files in
~/.claude/without user intervention.
