Before, it always read the image.\n\nIf the check refuses, the path is passed on as ordinary text and the image itself is not loaded.\n\n**Why**\n\nDragging or pasting a path can no longer make Claude Code read an image from a folder it has not been allowed to read.\n\n- Area: Permissions\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: yes"}
