DisclaimerUnofficial, and not affiliated with Anthropic. Nearly all of this is read straight out of what ships: npm bundles, captured prompts, published docs. Anthropic's own notes go in verbatim, marked as theirs. The rest is my reading, and every entry carries the strings behind it. If one looks wrong, vote it down and say why.

Claude Code v2.1.169

Permission Mode Downgrade Notification

What

When Claude Code detects that a session is trying to use bypass or auto permission mode but the required disclaimer has not been accepted interactively, the mode is silently downgraded to default and a notice is emitted.

Details
  • Previously the mode downgrade was not explicitly surfaced; now the message "Permission mode downgraded to default — bypass/auto requires accepting the disclaimer interactively first" is shown
  • Affects sessions spawned non-interactively (e.g., from scripts or cloud sessions) that request an elevated permission mode without having gone through the interactive acceptance flow
Evidence

Downgrade notice (search for "Permission mode downgraded to default") — JO7 constant at line ~220750

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
