What

When Claude Code checks whether it may read or write a file, it now runs an extra check first. For writes the check always runs. For reads it runs only under a certain condition. If the check matches, Claude Code gives its answer at that point.

Why

This could change which file paths ask you for permission or are refused.

The writer flagged doubtWhat the new check tests and when it applies to reads is not clear.
