Unclear What the two new early allow conditions are, and so which paths no longer need permission, is not clear.

What

Claude Code now has a check that looks at each part of a file path and reports whether any of them starts with a dot. Names that start with a dot, such as .git, are usually hidden files or folders. This replaces an earlier check for whether a path was safe.

Separately, the code that decides whether a file path matches a permission rule now allows a path straight away when either of two new conditions holds.

Why

This may change which file paths Claude Code asks your permission for.
