What

New slash command to display and change the tool permission mode directly from the REPL.

Usage
/mode           # Shows current permission mode
/mode ask       # Switch to ask mode
/mode auto      # Switch to auto-approve mode
Details
  • Lists available modes (excluding bypassPermissions, which must be toggled via shift+tab)
  • Provides clear error messages for unknown modes: Unknown mode "xyz". Usage: /mode <mode>
  • Also works non-interactively for SDK and automation use
  • Attempting to set bypassPermissions returns: "bypassPermissions is not available via /mode. Use the local TUI (shift+tab) instead."
