Preflight Checklist

  • I have searched existing issues and this hasn't been reported yet
  • This is a single bug report (please file separate reports for different bugs)
  • I am using the latest version of Claude Code

What's Wrong?

On macOS, Claude Code registers itself using a versioned binary path, causing macOS TCC (privacy permissions) to treat each new version as a completely different application. This means users must re-grant Full Disk Access and folder permissions after every update.

What Should Happen?

Permissions granted to Claude Code should persist across updates without requiring users to re-authorize each time.
