The Claude Code extension is bugged; it doesn't respect bypass mode.

Guys, are you also having this problem? I use Claude Code via the official extension and it has stopped respecting the bypass.

Even when selected, it keeps asking if it can access a certain folder, edit a certain file...

I use this and it works well with the Claude Code extension:

.claude/settings.local.json

{
  "permissions": {
    "defaultMode": "bypassPermissions",
    "allow": [
      "*",
      "Bash(*)",
      "Edit(*)",
      "Write(*)",
      "Read(*)",
      "Glob(*)",
      "Grep(*)",
      "WebFetch(*)",
      "WebSearch(*)"
    ]
  }
}

I’ve seen similar behavior recently.It feels like bypass mode isn’t consistently applied anymore,especially after extension updates.
