What
The async-agent path that refuses a tool because permission prompts are not available in that context now says "Permission to use X has been denied." rather than blaming don't-ask mode.
Details
the longer wording naming don't-ask mode still exists and is now used only by the don't-ask-mode paths
the two situations are no longer conflated in the message shown to the user
Evidence
has been denied because Claude Code is running in don't ask mode.
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
