Claude Code can now refuse commands because a makefile or awk script cannot be checked, or because of where git looks for its programs

Unclear It is not clear whether these refusals are active or what switches them on.

What

Claude Code checks shell commands before running them. It has new reasons for refusing one:

  • a makefile cannot be checked
  • an awk script cannot be checked, so what awk would run from it is unknown
  • git runs with its program folder (its exec path) set inside the folder Claude Code started in
  • git's exec path cannot be confirmed as a full, absolute path

These arrive alongside several new remote switches.

Why

These are likely stricter permission checks on make, awk and git commands.
