What
Before Claude Code works in a folder, it checks whether you have marked that folder as trusted. If you have not, it asks you first. That check used to look at a single directory. It now also uses the root of the git repository (the top folder of the project's version history) and applies a rule for paths it considers unsafe.
This could change when Claude Code shows the trust prompt. If you start Claude Code inside a git project, trust may be decided by the project's root folder rather than only the folder you are in.
