What's Wrong?

Bash commands always fail before running if claude runs from a directory with a .git directory that is not accessible in RW by the current user. This prevents claude from running any bash command.

What Should Happen?

I don't know why claude code tries to write .git/hooks via bwrap, but they should consider acting like you're not in a git repository if the .git/hooks is not accessible in RW
