What
A new setting, permissions.workingDirectoriesAsGiven, lists working directories spelled exactly as they were passed in, without following links to other locations. A working directory is a folder Claude Code is allowed to work in.
The setting is only read from:
- The
--settingsflag - Settings sent by the program that launched Claude Code
It is ignored in user, project, local and managed settings files. It does not add any working directory and does not allow anything on its own.
Why
This is meant for editors, IDEs and other programs that launch Claude Code through the SDK. It helps most on Windows, where mapped network drives and paths that ignore upper and lower case can make the same folder appear under different spellings.
