Reacted by interconnectedMeThis is a known issue introduced in v2.1.78. Writes to
.git,.claude,.vscode, and.ideadirectories now prompt even withbypassPermissionsenabled.An Anthropic team member confirmed a fix is incoming in #35646.
If you're seeing prompts for files outside those protected directories, that's a different issue — could you share which specific files/paths trigger the prompt?
Reacted by interconnectedMeThis fix referenced above might of fixed it, but clearly did not fix it... or it regressed. either way as of 2.1.84 it's happening again :-(.
Reacted by interconnectedMe and Will DelHagenStill broken on v2.1.84 in the VSCode extension. I've tried everything — defaultMode in settings files, PreToolUse hooks returning permissionDecision: allow, the VSCode initialPermissionMode dropdown — and I still get permission popups for .claude/ directory operations. It is driving me absolutely crazy. The whole point of bypass mode is to bypass.
Reacted by Will DelHagenI found the fix on my side: moving the project folder out of the .claude directory fixed it instantly. Works with v2.1.85
Example in PowerShell:
Move-Item "C:\Dev\.claude\my-project" "C:\Dev\my-project"Reacted by Marcelo CruzIt's pure madness, how can it be that for months a company with billions of dollars cannot assign someone to fix the permissions?
