Some commands now have a minimum number of words. If the prefix is shorter than that, Claude Code suggests no prefix. Before, it always offered the prefix it found.\n\n**Why**\n\nSuggested allow rules for commands such as `git` may become more specific, so a single approval covers fewer commands.\n\n- Area: Permissions\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
