429429 In gitignore patterns, `*` matches within a single path segment and can appear at any position in the pattern, while `**` matches across directories.

432When you approve a file path with "Yes, and don't ask again", Claude Code escapes gitignore pattern characters in that path, such as `[`, `]`, and `*`, so the generated rule matches only the literal path you approved. Rules you write yourself aren't escaped. Before v2.1.202, Claude Code saved the path unescaped, so a generated rule for a directory named `[2024-06] Reports` could fail to match its own path or match unintended sibling directories.

729729 The configuration-home exception skips only the trust step. `~/.claude/settings.local.json` is still [local scope](/docs/en/settings#compare-the-scope-of-each-settings-file), so Claude Code reads it only in sessions you start in your home directory itself, not in every project. To apply permission rules across all your projects, add them to your user settings instead: `~/.claude/settings.json`, or `$CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR/settings.json` when `CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR` is set.
