When auto mode blocks an action, Claude now receives clearer guidance on how to handle the situation:
- First try an alternative that no rule blocks (feature branch instead of default branch, synthetic data instead of real data, narrower scope).
- If a consent ask must be raised, hold it and batch it with other outstanding asks rather than ending the turn immediately.
- Format each consent item as a single concise sentence with the affected item in bold.
- If the block seems wrong, say so directly: "auto mode blocked X because Y — is that wrong?"
Evidence
Auto mode consent instructions (search for "batch it with your other outstanding asks")
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
