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?

I researched the issue and even ask Claude to debug it to no avail.

Claude itself wrote: "Sorry for the frustration — the prompts during the forensic report were disruptive and the permission system clearly isn't behaving as documented. "

  • Command form: PGPASSWORD=$PGPASSWORD_DI psql -h localhost -p $PORT_DI -U postgres -d ...
  • Patterns tried that failed: Bash(PGPASSWORD*), Bash(PGPASSWORD=), Bash( psql *)
  • Expected: no prompt; Actual: prompted every time
  • Version: 2.1.129

What Should Happen?

The Bash commands being used should match the permissions in the global settings.json file and Claude shouldn't ask for permissions over and over.
