fix(claude): scope the pnpm allow rules to whole commands

n/a - small change (agent permission configuration only)

Summary

Five permissions.allow rules in .claude/settings.json end in a bare *, which does not enforce a word boundary, so each rule auto-approves more than it reads as granting: Bash(pnpm build*) also approves pnpm buildx, and Bash(pnpm --filter * test*) also approves pnpm --filter web testify. This PR replaces the five rules with equivalents that keep every documented invocation auto-approved while matching only whole commands.

Each replacement shape was measured against Claude Code 2.1.238 before being proposed (fixture directory, the rule under test passed via --settings, raw stream-json transcripts, plus a no-rule control that confirms the baseline prompts):

Rule	Command	Result
Bash(pnpm build*) (current)	pnpm buildx	auto-approved
Bash(pnpm --filter * test*) (current)	pnpm --filter web testify	auto-approved
Bash(pnpm build:*) (new)	pnpm build, pnpm build --watch	auto-approved
Bash(pnpm build:*) (new)	pnpm buildx	prompts
Bash(pnpm --filter * test) + Bash(pnpm --filter * test *) (new)	pnpm --filter web test, pnpm --filter web test --coverage	auto-approved
new pair	pnpm --filter web testify	prompts

Bash(pnpm build:agent:*) is added because the root build:agent script was previously covered by pnpm build* and X:* rules do not match colon subscripts (measured: Bash(pnpm build:*) does not approve pnpm build:contract), matching how this file already enumerates test:packages:* beside test:*.

Testing performed

• pnpm install --frozen-lockfile && pnpm build, then pnpm typecheck && pnpm lint && pnpm test:packages on the branch: all pass (15,705 tests)
• The permission measurements above, run per rule shape with raw transcripts; happy to attach them if useful

n/a - internal only (agent permission configuration; no user-facing surface)

Checklist

• All commits are signed off (git commit -s) per the DCO. The DCO status check will block merge if any commit is missing a Signed-off-by: trailer.
• I read CONTRIBUTING.md and the change is scoped to one logical concern.
• Tests are updated (n/a - configuration only; the behavioural evidence is the measurement table above)
• The PR title follows the conventional-commit form per skills-contrib/contrib-pr/SKILL.md (external contribution, no Linear ticket)
• The Skill update section above is filled in (or stated n/a — internal only).

Notes for the reviewer

One deliberate coverage change: colon-subscript invocations under --filter (for example pnpm --filter integration-tests test:journeys) were previously auto-approved only through the same wildcard that approved testify, and will now prompt in agent sessions. They appear in CI workflows rather than agent docs, so the prompt should be rare. The obvious precise alternative, Bash(pnpm --filter * test:*), was measured to be a dead rule: with a mid-rule * present, the :* suffix matches nothing at all, not even pnpm --filter web test:prod. If you want those invocations auto-approved, they need enumerating exactly.

Found while testing a static analysis tool for agent configuration; every claim above was then verified by hand against Claude Code before this PR was opened.

• Chores
  • Updated command permissions for build, type-check, test, and lint workflows.
  • Improved handling of package-specific commands by distinguishing exact commands from commands with arguments.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The Claude permissions allowlist adds scoped build patterns and replaces broad filtered pnpm wildcards with explicit command forms.

Changes

Command permissions

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Narrow pnpm allowlist patterns .claude/settings.json	The allowlist adds Bash(pnpm build:*) and Bash(pnpm build:agent:*). Filtered build, typecheck, test, and lint permissions now use exact and argument-bearing patterns.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~2 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to d33a6

The permission configuration still allows a filtered build pattern to approve commands containing extra operations, including an unapproved package-manager execution. This creates a concrete command-authorization risk, so the PR should not merge until the rule is constrained or equivalent validation is added.

commands so wildcard matching cannot allow arbitrary pnpm subcommands such as
exec. Update the relevant settings entries to enumerate approved package
selectors, or add a PreToolUse validation that parses and permits only the
intended pnpm filter build invocation while rejecting extra arguments and
commands.
