What

When Claude wants to read a file outside the folders it is working in, Claude Code asks your permission. The question used to read "Allow reads outside the working directories?". It now reads "Allow this read outside the working directories?".

Why

The new wording makes clear that saying yes allows this one read and does not grant blanket access.

The writer flagged doubtIt is not clear whether what a Yes actually allows changed along with the wording.
