Straight out of the box (although I did enable migration from vs code), when getting Kiro to write a spec I had this error:

Error(s) while creating

react-migration.md

Access denied: File access is restricted to workspace. Attempted path: /.kiro/steering/react-migration.md. The agent has seen this error and will try a different approach to write the file if needed.

When I copy-pasted this back into the agent, it said "This appears to be a bug in how the fsWrite tool is resolving relative paths."

This is happening to me too on Linux after updating to the latest version (0.9.40). macOS seems OK

Same behavior for me on Mint 22.3, which is similar to Ubuntu 24.04

I saw https://discord.com/channels/1374034175430230016/1471874834077057137 mentioning needing glibc 2.39, but I confirmed that I have that:

$ ldd --version

@idle adder is this good place to share details, or is there a better thread?

Thanks! I am now following that other post. Let me know if there is anything I can provide and/or test

Downloading the newest version seemed to fix it

Yes, please update to the latest version 0.10.32 which should contain the fix, but let me know if you are still having issues
