What's Wrong?

Ever since I started using Claude Code, your permission model has been non-intuitive or broken. Why should I have to grant this command permission ten times in a row?

git -C /Users/jwheeler/Projects/temeculadsp/qdv1 log --oneline

Here is my .claude/settings.local.json file (permissions block)

      "Bash(git -C /Users/jwheeler/Projects/temeculadsp/qdv1 log --oneline --all -- \"qdv1/scripts/dasp_run*.py\")",
      "Bash(git -C /Users/jwheeler/Projects/temeculadsp/qdv1 log --oneline --diff-filter=D --all -- \"**/dasp_run*.py\")",
      "Bash(git -C /Users/jwheeler/Projects/temeculadsp/qdv1 log --all --oneline -- \"scripts/modes/chamber.py\")",
      "Bash(git -C /Users/jwheeler/Projects/temeculadsp/qdv1 log --all --diff-filter=AD --name-only)",
      "Bash(git -C /Users/jwheeler/Projects/temeculadsp/qdv1 log --all --oneline -- \"qdv1/scripts/modes/chamber.py\")",
      "Bash(git -C /Users/jwheeler/Projects/temeculadsp/qdv1 log --all --source --oneline -- \"qdv1/scripts/modes/chamber.py\")"

...others omitted...

I shouldn't have to go in and manually add:

"Bash(git log *)",

and I think if I do in some cases, it doesn't even work or the settings file gets overwritten the next time it asks me for permission.

This is a usability issue that boils over into being a security issue because it makes people more apt to run --dangerously-ignore-permissions because the UX is so bad

The other CLIs, Codex and Gemini, are not so restrictive. Why is yours like this? Is it user error or misunderstanding? I've tried asking Claude to help me and changes it makes to the settings file do not work!

What Should Happen?

It should not include option arguments when a command is granted access.

agreeing to

git -C /Users/jwheeler/Projects/temeculadsp/qdv1 show 71a9a51~1:qdv1/scripts/dasp_run.py

should add

git -C *

to the permissions file or equivalent
