Deny rules have no negation, so `.env*` also blocked `.env*.example`. Move the check to a PreToolUse hook that exempts example files. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Match file names case-insensitively for case-insensitive file systems - Block the tool call when the check fails instead of allowing it - Keep Read deny rules for common .env names, because @ mentions do not trigger PreToolUse hooks Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Why
The deny rules
Read(!.env*.example)andEdit(!.env*.example)were meant to exempt example files fromRead(.env*)andEdit(.env*), but permission rules have no negation. Each rule is matched independently, so.env.examplewas denied as well.What
home/.claude/hooks/personal-block-env.sh, a PreToolUse hook that denies.env*files except.env*.exampleRead,Edit,Write,MultiEdit, andNotebookEdit.env*deny rules inhome/.claude/settings.jsonwithReaddeny rules for common names (.env,.env.local,.env.*.local,.env.development,.env.production), because@mentions do not trigger PreToolUse hooksNotes
Readdeny rules, the hook does not cover the Grep and Glob tools. This will be handled separately
