What's Wrong?

aIn the Claude Code desktop app (Windows 11), when "Bypass permissions mode" is enabled (yellow banner at top confirms it), the app still shows "Allow Claude to Edit/Run?" permission dialogs for every Edit and Bash action.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open Claude Code desktop app on Windows 11
    1. Toggle permissions mode to "Bypass permissions mode" using Shift+Tab (yellow banner appears at top: "Bypass permissions mode: Claude can take actions without asking")
    1. Also have ~/.claude/settings.json with broad permissions: "allow": ["Read", "Edit", "Write", "Glob", "Grep", "Bash(*)"]
    1. Start a new conversation and ask Claude to edit a file or run a bash command
    1. Permission dialog still appears asking "Allow Claude to Edit/Run?" Additional context:
  • The yellow banner at top clearly says "Bypass permissions mode: Claude can take actions without asking, including modifying or deleting files"
    • This happens in every new conversation, not just carryover from a previous mode
      • The dialog shows "Allow once (Enter)" and "Always allow for session (Ctrl+Enter)" buttons — but these should not appear at all in Bypass mode
        • settings.json has Edit, Write, Read, and Bash(*) in the allow list

What Should Happen?

aWhen "Bypass permissions mode" is active, all Edit and Bash actions should execute immediately without showing any permission dialog. The yellow anner already confirms the mode is active — the behavior should match.

Have ~/.claude/settings.json with: "allow": ["Read", "Edit", "Write", "Glob", "Grep", "Bash(*)"] 4. 4. Start a new conversation 5. 5. Ask Claude to edit a Python file (e.g., "add a comment to normalizer.py") 6. 6. Permission dialog appears: "Allow Claude to Edit ...?" with "Allow once" and "Always allow for session" buttons 7. 7. This happens on every new conversation, not just once

TL;DR

The "Bypass permissions mode" in the Claude Code desktop app may not be functioning correctly, causing permission dialogs to appear despite the mode being enabled.

Guidance

  • Verify that the ~/.claude/settings.json file has the correct permissions set, including "Edit", "Write", "Read", and "Bash(*)" in the "allow" list.
  • Check if the yellow banner at the top of the app confirms that "Bypass permissions mode" is active.
  • Try resetting the app or checking for any conflicting settings that may be overriding the "Bypass permissions mode".
  • Test the "Bypass permissions mode" with different actions, such as editing a file or running a bash command, to see if the issue is specific to certain actions.

Notes

The issue may be related to a regression in the latest version of the Claude Code desktop app, as it worked in a previous version. Without more information on the last working version, it's difficult to provide a more specific solution.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Try resetting the app or checking for conflicting settings, as the issue may be related to a configuration problem rather than a bug in the app itself.
