Changing sandbox-mode to workspace-write fixes the issue. And I have to run every bash command outside sandbox mode explicitly, asking permissions every time.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

  • Get git bash
  • have sandbox-mode = "workspace-write"
  • ask it to run any basic bash command like pwd like in the screenshot or run any bash based script or command.
