Unclear It is not clear under which condition this applies, so whether your absolute-path rules match differently is unknown.
What
Permission rules decide what Claude Code may do without asking. Rules in your user settings that begin with /, an absolute path, are no longer resolved against a root folder when Claude Code checks permissions, and user settings are left out of the list of rule roots. Before, every settings scope was included.
Why
This changes how those rules are matched against files.
