If you try to ls / for example it's going to pop up a request to access your disk, multiple times. It's rather annoying.

Why would ghostty try to access your disk when you run 'ls /'? ghostty isn't opening any files -- ls is.

  • The TCC system attributes the access to Ghostty because that’s the thing the user understands as the app they are interacting with. Otherwise every `posix_spawn()` and `system()` call would result in a new TCC prompt attributed to an inscrutable name.
