What
lsof is a command that lists open files and network connections. Claude Code normally lets it run without asking you, because it only reads information. That no longer holds in one case: a bare -i followed by an argument that contains ~. Such a command now counts as dangerous and waits for your approval.
Why
In a shell, ~ can expand to a home directory path. An argument using it is not always the plain read-only request it looks like, so Claude Code now checks with you first.
