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 v2.1.202

bypassPermissions Mode Not Restored from Sessions Unless Explicitly Launched

When restoring a session whose saved permission mode was bypassPermissions, Claude Code now checks whether the current session was launched with --dangerously-skip-permissions (or the mode is allowed by settings/policy). If not, it falls back to default and logs a warning.

Details
  • Previously, a restored session could silently inherit dangerous permissions from a prior session
  • The warning logged: "[externalMetadataToAppState] Refusing restored mode 'bypassPermissions' (disabled by settings/policy or session not launched with --dangerously-skip-permissions); falling back to 'default'"
Evidence

Permission mode restore guard (search for "Refusing restored mode 'bypassPermissions'")

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