What
Hooks are scripts a project can run automatically at set moments. When Claude Code checks whether a project hook script or a temporary folder sits inside an allowed location, it no longer converts the paths to a standard form before comparing them.
Why
In practice paths are now compared as given, which could change which hook paths count as inside an allowed folder.
