Unclear Whether the narrower mode blocks fewer reads, or blocks them differently, is not known.

What

Permission rules can stop Claude Code from reading certain paths. The check for those blocked paths now uses a narrower mode for read denials. It also compares against the project folder's real location, after following any symlinks, instead of the path as it was given.

Why

This changes which reads count as blocked by your permission rules.
