What's Wrong?

The WebFetch permission prompt only offers per-domain approval ("Yes, and allow all" -- the"all" seems to mean all requests on that domain, not all domains). Any research task that follows links across hosts therefore re-prompts on every new domain. This makes the session completely unusable.

The equivalent rule already exists — WebFetch(domain:*) — but today you can only get it by hand-editing ~/.claude/settings.json or changing permissions in the local host app, which is not reachable from the mobile app or from a Remote Control session. That makes it effectively unavailable to anyone who steps away from their machine mid-task.

Quick Fix: add another option to the WebFetch dialog — "Yes, and allow all domains" — writing WebFetch(domain:*) to .claude/settings.local.json, the same way the existing option writes the single-domain rule.

Context: hit this on iOS driving a Remote Control session, where Auto mode isn't selectable from the app and the settings file isn't editable, so there was no way to stop the prompts without returning to the machine.

What Should Happen?

iOS app should let me allow all WebFetch and WebSearch requests in one dialog.

Research direction

Start by tracing the WebFetch/WebSearch permission dialog and the existing per-domain approval that writes to .claude/settings.local.json. Check how the WebFetch(domain:*) rule is represented, then verify the new choice is available from a mobile Remote Control session and stops prompts across domains.
