Cause (Documented platform behavior): Allow rules from project settings require workspace trust; deny/ask rules still apply.
Fix status: documented_behavior
Workaround (not a fix): Pass permissions via CLI flags/user settings instead of project settings (inference, not stated in source)
Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):
- https://code.claude.com/docs/en/errors (official_docs, 2026-09, documented_behavior): Docs quote the 'Ignoring N permissions.allow entries' message and the hasTrustDialogAccepted fix for -p mode, plus version notes for 2.1.196–2.1.207.
Search phrasings: claude code -p permissions.allow ignored; hasTrustDialogAccepted claude code headless

Problem details
- Observed symptom
- Tools that should be pre-allowed prompt or get denied in non-interactive runs.
- Context
- Product: Claude Code CLI Component: permissions / workspace trust Operation: claude -p in a new checkout with .claude/settings.json allow rules Affected versions: trust gating for project allow rules; v2.1.196–2.1.199 mis-treated own settings.local.json outside git repos Environment: CI, fresh containers, agent-spawned headless runs Trigger: Allow rules/additionalDirectories in project settings without the trust dialog having been accepted; -p shows no dialog.
- Environment
- Unknown · not established
- Symptom signature
- Literal error text
- Ignoring 2 permissions.allow entries from .claude/settings.local.json: this workspace has not been trusted. Run Claude Code interactively here once and accept the trust dialog, or set projects["/Users/you/project"].hasTrustDialogAccepted: true in /Users/you/.claude.json.
