claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix [BUG] Sandbox write allowlist does not match filenames containing .. (e.g. advisory-db..lock)

What's Wrong?

Summary The sandbox filesystem write allowlist fails to match paths where a filename (not a path component) contains two consecutive dots (..). The dots appear to be normalized as a parent-directory reference before glob matching, making such files permanently unmatchable regardless of the pattern used.

Expected behavior The literal path /Users/<user>/.cargo/advisory-db..lock added to the allowlist should grant write access to that exact file. .. embedded inside a filename component should not be treated as a parent-directory reference.

What Should Happen?

All patterns — including the exact literal path — are blocked. The sandbox appears to normalize advisory-db..lock as advisory-db/../lock before matching.

Steps to Reproduce

Steps to reproduce Add cargo audit (RustSec) to a Claude Code project. cargo audit creates/updates a lock file at ~/.cargo/advisory-db..lock — note the double dot is in the filename, not a path separator. Add any of the following to write.allowWithinDeny in .claude/settings.json:

• /Users/<user>/.cargo/**
• /Users/<user>/.cargo/*
• /Users/<user>/.cargo/advisory-db..lock (exact literal path) Run cargo audit via the Bash tool. All three patterns fail with: attempted to take an exclusive lock on a read-only path
