What's Wrong?

If I am in my home directory ~/ on my mac and I run claude, everytime I have to trust the directory. This is even if I have added the the following stanza to the ~/.claude/settings.json

"trustedDirectories": [ "/Users/<USERNAME>" ]

I have confirmed this works for other folders, just not the home directory.

What Should Happen?

If I explicitly add it, it should not require me to manually accept it at run time. I do realize i could use the unsafe permissions, but those are way more unsafe than this.
