That check now sorts folders into three groups:\n\n- Walked folders, which it has looked through. These now get a second pass.\n\n- Unwalked folders, which it has not looked through.\n\n- Vouched folders, which are accepted as covered without being looked through.\n\nThe check also has a limit on how much it examines. That limit now counts files in batches instead of counting one unit for every entry.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis changes which file paths count as covered when Claude Code checks whether a path falls inside an allowed area, such as a sandbox (a restricted space Claude Code runs commands in).\n\n- Area: Permissions\n- Tier: Under the hood\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
