4-6: LGTM! Permissions appropriately scoped for codebase exploration.

The ** recursive glob pattern grants Claude Code unrestricted read and search access within the working directory tree, which aligns with the PR objective of preventing permission prompts during codebase exploration. This is a reasonable trade-off for developer productivity.

Per the test plan, verify that operations targeting paths outside the repository root still trigger permission prompts as expected.
