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.
