Fix malformed JSON in .claude/settings.json and expand allowlist#723
Merged
Conversation
Remove the trailing comma after the last array element that made the file invalid strict JSON. Add read-only gh CLI permissions to match the gh-based PR/issue workflows documented in CLAUDE.md, and round out the Chrome DevTools MCP allowlist with non-mutating observability tools (screenshots, console/network inspection, snapshots, perf trace). Mutating commands (gh pr create/comment/merge, gh issue create, page interactions like click/fill/type_text) continue to require prompts. Closes #721 Closes #722

Summary
.claude/settings.json, which made the file invalid strict JSON (python3 -m json.toolrejected it:Illegal trailing comma before end of array: line 28 column 73). The corruption appears to have been introduced by the Claude VS Code extension editing the file.ghCLI permissions so the PR/issue workflows documented in CLAUDE.md stop prompting on every read.click,fill,type_text, etc.) and destructive tools (close_page) to continue prompting.Bash(git show:*)for symmetry with the existing read-only git allowlist.Closes #721
Closes #722
