Unclear Which commands, if any, are now approved or refused automatically differently from before.

What

When Claude wants to run a shell command, Claude Code checks the command to decide whether it is safe to run without asking you. Part of that check looks for arguments that set a variable, such as NAME=value or NAME+=value.

That test now uses a new rule. The rule also matches array forms such as NAME[1]=value, and assignments in general.

Why

The set of read-only commands that Claude Code approves automatically may change slightly in unusual cases.
