Unclear It is not clear when these checks run or what the settings helper is used for.
What
When Claude Code stages a file, meaning it places the file into a holding folder before use, it now checks the destination more strictly:
- A folder on the way to the destination whose name contains a backslash is rejected.
- A destination whose parent folder sits outside the staging folder is rejected.
Separately, a helper that prepares a settings document for the home folder now merges the deny and ask permission rules into it. Deny rules block an action, and ask rules make Claude Code ask you first.
Why
These checks apply to cloud sessions only, and they stop a staged file from landing somewhere other than the folder it was meant for.
Something disagreesSomething we can check disagrees with this entry, or the writer said they could not settle it.
