When a `timeout` command has an option or value that cannot be checked in advance, the explanation now reads as a plain sentence instead of a terse technical one.\n\nSeparately, the check for a `-c`-style option, which tells a program to run a command given as text, now looks at the command's separated arguments instead of matching a pattern against the raw text.\n\n**Why**\n\nThe message is easier to understand. The new way of spotting `-c`-style options may change which commands Claude Code judges risky.\n\n- Area: Permissions\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5"}
