TL;DR

The most likely fix is to address the EACCES error by adjusting permissions for the ripgrep executable.

Guidance

1. Check permissions: Verify the permissions of the ripgrep executable at /Users/hiroyuki-innout/.nvm/versions/node/v24.14.1/lib/node_modules/@anthropic-ai/claude-code/vendor/ripgrep/arm64-darwin/rg to ensure it is executable.
2. Adjust permissions: If necessary, adjust the permissions using chmod to allow execution, for example: chmod +x /Users/hiroyuki-innout/.nvm/versions/node/v24.14.1/lib/node_modules/@anthropic-ai/claude-code/vendor/ripgrep/arm64-darwin/rg.
3. Verify environment: Confirm that the ANTHROPIC_API_KEY is not set externally and that the defaultMode in settings is indeed set to "auto".

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue seems related to permissions rather than code.

Notes

The provided error logs indicate a repeated EACCES error when trying to spawn the ripgrep process, suggesting a permissions issue. The solution focuses on addressing this specific error.

Recommendation

Apply the workaround by adjusting the permissions of the ripgrep executable, as this directly addresses the EACCES error shown in the logs.
