Claude Code v2.1.281 ·

New refusal: path spelling that session permission rules cannot match

Claude Code can now refuse a file path written in a form its permission rules cannot match and ask for the full path

What

Some tool calls, which are requests by Claude to use one of its tools, are checked against path-based permission rules. These calls can now be refused with the code declined_spelling. The message says the path is written in a way this session cannot match to its own path rules, and asks for the file's full path instead. The refusal is recorded as a routing error and does not deny the session. Denials now also carry a code field.

Why

When a path is written oddly, Claude is told to retry with the full path rather than having the path slip past rules that could not recognise it.

How sure we are
Something disagreesSomething we can check disagrees with this entry, or the writer said they could not settle it.
The writer flagged doubtThe finding does not say which tool calls go through the path-rule layer.
