This transcription was generated by machine using Anthropic's Claude Code (model sonnet 4.6). It may contain errors or inaccuracies. Please verify against the document image. Learn more about our generative AI methodology.
The image file is in a system temp directory (`/var/folders/...`) outside Claude Code's allowed working directory (`/Users/jheppler/work/chnm/pwd`), and the Read tool also reports it's over the 2000×2000px size limit. I cannot access or transcribe it.
The transcription script needs to either save images to a subdirectory within the project, or use `sips`/`convert` to resize before passing to Claude Code. The `--allowedTools Read` flag doesn't override the working-directory security boundary.
