From 2a62bfa2dd2255be2a4b284b3968e36c48a75ff5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chris Peterson Date: Wed, 2 Sep 2026 07:30:42 -0700 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Match a guarded command however the shell spells it MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit A rule recognizes a guarded command by the literal text of its program, its subcommand, and its flags. Three layers each read that text more narrowly than the shell does, so a command that runs was reaching the rules as something no pattern matched. `_SHELL_COMPOUND` enumerated the operators that separate commands (`|`, `;`, newline, `&&`, `$(`, backtick) but none that group them, so [OUT-08] never escalated `(git push)`. Claude Code 2.1.257 fixed a `permissions.ask` rule being skipped in auto mode for a command running inside "a compound command or subshell", so the host treats the two shapes as one class and the engine now does too. A `(` counts only at command position — the start of the command, or after `;`, `&`, or `|` — which leaves a parenthesis inside an argument alone. That left `(git push)` deciding allow rather than ask. Thirteen rules anchored a bare subcommand with `(\s|$)`, which a closing paren satisfies neither way, so no rule matched and there was no ask to escalate. The same anchor missed every other separator — `git commit;echo done`, `git push|tee log`, `` `git stash` `` — and the block rules for `git checkout .` and `git restore .` had the hole through `\.\s*$`. Both now end where the shell ends the word: `(?![\w-])`, whose hyphen keeps `git commit-tree` out. It costs `npm install-test`, which the anchor it replaces missed too. SCHEMA.md recommended `(\s|$)` and demonstrated it in the `docker run` example, which is where the thirteen came from. `rm` read recursive and force as one flag cluster, so `rm --recursive --force /` decided allow and `rm -r -f /` only asked. Two lookaheads over the flag run take either spelling in any order, and anchoring `rm` on `\b` stops `confirm -rf /` matching. [EN-15] normalizes the leading words of each command before matching, so `"git" commit`, `g\it commit` and `git "commit"` reach the rules as `git commit`. It stops at the first flag and at an unbalanced quote, which keeps an operand quoted: unquoting `-m "wip; done"` would turn a commit message into what reads as a command boundary. A word assembled at runtime stays out of reach, since nothing in the command text says what it will be — AGENTS.md records that limit rather than implying the rules are a sandbox.

Rationale: the Monitor tool runs its `command` in the same shell environment as `Bash`, so a Monitor call the engine does not read is an unscreened shell.

Normalization shall stop at the first word that begins with `-`, and at any word whose quotes are unbalanced or which is not a bare word (letters, digits, `_`, `.`, `/`, `-`) once unquoted. A leading `VAR=value` assignment or `sudo` prefixes a command without being its program, so it shall be passed over without counting toward the three. Rationale: a rule recognizes a guarded command by the literal text of its program and subcommand, and the shell resolves every one of those spellings to the same word before running anything, so a rule that matches the command as typed must match it as the shell reads it. The stopping conditions keep an *argument* untouched: a quoted operand is data that both the rules and [OUT-08]'s quoted-span handling read as quoted, and unquoting `-m "wip; done"` would turn a commit message into what looks like a command boundary. Normalization is pure string rewriting over the command text, so the decision stays a function of its inputs ([EN-01]). This does not close deliberate obfuscation in general — a shell has unbounded ways to spell a word, and variable indirection (`C=git; $C commit`) resolves only at runtime — it closes the spellings that survive as a single literal word. ### Decision logging (LOG) @@ -119,7 +120,7 @@ The engine emits at most one decision per invocation. - **[OUT-05]** When no rule matches, the engine shall produce no stdout output (allow-by-default). - **[OUT-06]** *(retired in 0.18.0)* — ~~the ask prompt rendered the `` prose as an OSC 8 terminal hyperlink to the `ref`, with `CLAUDEWATCH_HYPERLINKS` as the opt-out.~~ Claude Code 2.1.235 began sanitizing hook-supplied reason strings, replacing every control character with U+FFFD, so the escape reached the user as visible garbage instead of a link.

A leading `VAR=value` assignment or `sudo` prefixes a command without being its program, and an option names one no more than they do, so none of them shall count toward the four; stepping over options is what lets `git -C /repo "push"` and `aws --profile prod "s3" rm` resolve, since both tools carry their global options ahead of the subcommand a rule matches ([SH-01]).
