Unclear It is not clear what kind of command the new test catches.

What

Claude Code checks shell commands to decide whether they only read things or are allowed to run without asking you. That check now has an extra test, applied before wildcard file patterns are handled, that can rule a command out.

Why

In practice some commands that used to run without a prompt may now ask you first.
