Unclear What the further condition is, and so when a relaxed override is overruled, is not known.
What
The sandbox is the restricted space Claude Code runs commands in. Its file policy can be strict or relaxed. Claude Code now decides which one applies in this order:
- An override set to false: strict.
- A further condition: strict, unless
filesystem.disabledis true in a config. - An override set to true: relaxed.
- Otherwise: the configured
filesystemPolicy, includingrelaxedIfForced.
Before, any override was used directly. True gave relaxed and false gave strict.
Why
Asking for the relaxed policy no longer guarantees it. The sandbox may stay strict.
