Root Cause

Notes:

  • Adding this as corroboration for any existing reports against 2.1.128 — there appear to be related open issues around settings.json permission matching (e.g., #18160, #27040, #29639) that may or may not share a root cause with this regression.
  • Happy to provide a sanitized settings.json, sample prompts that trigger the issue, and debug logs on request.

Title: [BUG] settings.json permissions not respected after upgrade to 2.1.128 — per-process permission prompts on macOS

Version: Claude Code 2.1.128 (installed May 7, 2026) Platform: macOS (Claude desktop app) Also using: Cowork

What's wrong: Since upgrading to 2.1.128 on May 7, the permissions defined in my settings.json no longer appear to be honored correctly. I am being prompted for permission on a per-process basis for actions that should be auto-approved by my existing allow rules. This started immediately after the 2.1.128 install and has continued through today (May 8).

Expected behavior: Commands and tools matching entries in permissions.allow in settings.json should execute without prompting, as they did on the prior version.

Actual behavior: Every matching process triggers a fresh permission request, even for rules that were working pre-upgrade. No config changes were made on my end between versions.

Notes:

  • Adding this as corroboration for any existing reports against 2.1.128 — there appear to be related open issues around settings.json permission matching (e.g., #18160, #27040, #29639) that may or may not share a root cause with this regression.
  • Happy to provide a sanitized settings.json, sample prompts that trigger the issue, and debug logs on request.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Upgrade Claude Code to 2.1.128
  2. Use a settings.json with permissions.allow rules that worked on the prior version
  3. Run Claude Code with the Claude desktop app on macOS
  4. Observe per-process permission prompts for previously-allowed actions

What Should Happen?

permissions in settings.json should be used instead of asking for user prompts

Error Messages/Logs

no except I get permission dialogs from the app
