[BUG] Global settings seem to be getting ignored when doing simple commands like running ls in bash

[tylerwongj]

Environment

• Platform (select one):
  • [ ] Anthropic API
  • [ ] AWS Bedrock
  • [ ] Google Vertex AI
  • [ ] Other:
• Claude CLI version: <!-- output of claude --version --> 1.0.17
• Operating System: macOS
• Terminal: iTerm2 through vs code

Bug Description

Steps to Reproduce

1. create settings.json in ~/.claude/settings.json
2. try running a claude terminal (using vs code for me) and running ls

Expected Behavior

it shouldnt ask for permissions

Actual Behavior

it asks for permissions, and also acknowledges that it has a bug

Additional Context

[tylerwongj]

Permissions don't seem to work and seem inconsistent, both globally and locally. :\

Seems there's some caching part that's getting in the way. I guess I have to restart the claude instance if I add a certain permission. I'm betting this issue might be resolved with this other ticket that is open - https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/1274.

Seems the settings files aren't handling things right unfortunately.
