Allow clickhouse-client to start with unreadable working directory
Allow starting clickhouse-client with unreadable working directory. #25817 (ianton-ru).
Why it matters
clickhouse-client previously required readable access to the current working directory to start. This feature enables starting the client even if the working directory permissions restrict read access, improving robustness in restricted or secured environments.How to use it
No special configuration is needed. Simply runclickhouse-client in directories with restricted permissions as usual.
