your terminal shouldn't have access to your user directory? As in the files owned by you?

It was only like 1 year ago that the loudest complaint about macOS were complaining about needing to click Allow in a new dialog when they use Terminal (or various other apps).

There are so many comments in here that are calling for nerfing something widely revered for giving us superpowers. Whether these are bots or not, they’re giving off NPC energy.

If they don’t want to use power tools because they accidentally cut off their finger, then they should just unplug their own power tools and stop clamoring for everybody else’s to be unplugged, too.

		Hello, are you aware that ALL the software you run on your computer can silently access your clipboard? Have you ever copied sensitive data? Perhaps a password? Anyway, what I'm asking is a native way to run software in a real sandbox. It's really not a big deal to grant access when asked. Have you used any mobile OSes in the past 20 years? It's the default there and I can be certain that any random utility cannot read my clipboard or user directory without consent.

Sadly, the pendulum keeps swinging in the way of the tools actually being unplugged and dumbed down in favor of these screaming people, rather than leaving things alone so the rest of us professionals can continue to (safely) do our jobs with the already somewhat restricted tools we have.

I run Claude in that terminal. No, it shouldn't. Not without a prompt. This is how you get worms stealing your keys via some build tool you just run.
