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 v2.1.200

manual as Alias for default Permission Mode

What

The string "manual" is now accepted wherever "default" is accepted as a permission mode value.

Usage
claude --permission-mode manual
Details
  • manual maps to default behavior internally
  • Works in CLI flags, settings JSON, and agent definitions
  • The settings schema now preprocesses the value to normalize manual → default
  • Allows configs that used the informal term "manual" to continue working without changes
Evidence

New alias function (search for "Default permission mode when Claude Code needs access ('manual' is accepted as an alias for 'default')") — y_() at ~line 63398

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