claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix [Bug] Redundant permission entries added despite matching wildcard pattern [1 comments, 2 participants]

TL;DR

The issue can be mitigated by manually removing redundant permission entries from the settings.json file.

Guidance

• Review the settings.json file and remove any redundant permission entries that are already covered by a wildcard rule, such as "PowerShell(**)".
• Verify that the permission prompt does not appear for commands that are already authorized by a wildcard rule.
• If a permission prompt does appear for a command that should be covered by a wildcard rule, check the command string for any special characters or formatting that may be causing the mismatch.
• Consider reporting this issue as a bug to the Claude Code developers, as the expected behavior is for the permission prompt to not appear at all if an allow rule already matches the command.

Example

No code snippet is provided as it is not necessary for this issue.

Notes

The cause of the issue is likely due to the way the permission system handles wildcard rules and specific command strings. The workaround provided is a manual solution and may not prevent the issue from occurring in the future.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: manually removing redundant permission entries from the settings.json file, as this is the most straightforward solution to mitigate the issue.
